(2)
As of September 30, 2020, this investment was not pledged as collateral as part of the Company’s revolving credit facility.
(3)
Entity is not domiciled in the United States and does not have its principal place of business in the United States.
(4)
The Company generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These investments are generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act.
(5)
All investments were valued at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
(6)
Gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and net unrealized gains for federal income tax purposes totaled $1.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the September 30, 2020 investment portfolio. The tax cost of investments is $104.5 million.
(7)
Warrants are associated with funded debt instruments as well as certain commitments to provide future funding against certain unfunded obligations.
(8)
Non-income producing investments.
(9)
Acquisition date represents the date of the investment in the portfolio investment.
*
Value as a percentage of net assets.

Notes applicable to the investments presented in the foregoing table:
No investment represents a 5% or greater interest in any outstanding class of voting security of the portfolio company.
Notes applicable to the debt investments presented in the foregoing tables:
Interest rate is the annual interest rate on the debt investment and does not include any original issue discount (“OID”), end-of-term (“EOT”) payment, or any additional fees related to the investments, such as deferred interest, commitment fees or prepayment fees.
For each debt investment tied to the Prime rate (“Prime”) as of September 30, 2020, Prime was 3.25%. As of September 30, 2020, a majority of the debt investments (approximately 70.0%, or $70.1 million in principal balance) in the Company’s portfolio bore interest at floating rates, which generally are Prime-based, all of which have interest rate floors at or above 3.25%.
The EOT payments are contractual and fixed interest payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are a fixed percentage of the original principal balance of the loan unless otherwise noted. The EOT payment is amortized and recognized as non-cash income over the loan or lease prior to its payment.
Some of the terms noted in the foregoing tables are subject to change based on certain events such as prepayments.

TRIPLEPOINT PRIVATE VENTURE CREDIT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
TriplePoint Global Venture Credit, LLC was formed on October 2, 2019 as a Maryland limited liability company. On May 27, 2020, TriplePoint Global Venture Credit, LLC changed its name to TriplePoint Private Venture Credit Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with its conversion from a Maryland limited liability company to a Maryland corporation and the commencement of its investment operations. The Company is structured as an externally-managed non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, the Company expects to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its total return to shareholders primarily in the form of current income from secured loans, and secondarily through capital gains from equity “kickers” in the form of warrants and direct equity investments to venture capital-backed companies. The Company is externally managed by TriplePoint Advisers LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TriplePoint Capital LLC (“TPC”). The Adviser is responsible for sourcing, reviewing and structuring investment opportunities, underwriting and performing due diligence on investments and monitoring the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Adviser was organized in August 2013 and, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into between the Company and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Company pays the Adviser a base management fee and an incentive fee for its services. The Company has also entered into an administration agreement with TriplePoint Administrator LLC (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, and pays fees and expenses for services provided.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: TPVC Funding Company LLC, an entity established for the purpose of opening a credit facility (the “Financing Subsidiary”), and TPVC Investment LLC, an entity established for holding certain of the Company’s investments in order to benefit from the tax treatment of these investments and create a tax structure that is more advantageous with respect to the Company’s RIC tax treatment. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by GAAP for the annual reporting of consolidated financial statements are omitted. The Company follows accounting and reporting guidance as set forth in Topic 946 (“Financial Services - Investment Companies”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, as amended (“ASC”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for the fair representation of financial results as of and for the period presented have been included and all intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Organization and Offering Costs
Organization costs include costs relating to the formation and incorporation of the business and are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any organizational costs during the period ended September 30, 2020. Offering costs include legal fees and other costs pertaining to the registration statement and the costs are offset against capital proceeds from the initial offering during the period in which they are incurred.
Investments
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 946 and measured in accordance with ASC Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurements”). Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market’s participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. When market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Adviser believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instruments on the measurement date.
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a variety of factors. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable the determination of fair value requires more judgment. The Company’s valuation

12


methodology is approved by the Board and the Board is responsible for the fair values determined. As markets change, new types of investments are made, or pricing for certain investments becomes more or less observable, the Board may refine its valuation methodologies to best reflect the fair value of its investments appropriately.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company places its cash with financial institutions and at times, cash held in such accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company may invest a portion of its cash in money market funds, within the limitations of the 1940 Act. Cash consists of bank demand deposits.
Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities
Other accrued expenses and liabilities include interest payable, accounts payable and the fair value of unfunded commitment liabilities. Unfunded commitment liabilities reflect the fact that the Company is a party to certain delay draw credit agreements with its portfolio companies, which requires the Company to make future advances at the borrowers’ discretion during a defined loan availability period. The Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow the Company relief from funding previously made commitments in instances where the underlying portfolio company experiences material adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the portfolio company. In certain instances, the borrower may be required to achieve certain milestones before they may request a future advance. The unfunded obligation associated with these credit agreements is equal to the amount by which the contractual funding commitment exceeds the sum of the amount of debt required to be funded under the delay draw credit agreements unless the availability period has expired. The fair value at the inception of the agreement of the delay draw credit agreements approximates the fair value of the warrant investments received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability included in the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments.
Paid-in Capital
The Company records the proceeds from the sale of its common stock on a net basis to capital stock and paid-in capital in excess of par value, excluding all offering costs.
Income Recognition
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount, principally representing market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments subsequent to the commencement of operations are reported as unearned income which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method as interest income. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, unamortized loan origination fees and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income. EOT payments are contractual and fixed interest payments due in cash at the maturity date of the loan, including upon prepayment, and are generally a fixed percentage of the original principal balance of the loan. Interest is accrued during the life of the loan on the EOT payment using the effective interest method as non-cash income. The EOT payment generally ceases accruing to the extent the borrower is unable to pay the remaining principal and interest due. The EOT payment may also include a cash success fee due upon the earlier of the maturity date of the loans or in the event of a certain milestone reached by the portfolio company.
For debt investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue PIK interest if it is deemed uncollectible.
Other income includes certain fees paid by portfolio companies (for example, extension fees, revolver loan facility fees, prepayment fees) and the recognition of the value of unfunded commitments that expired during the reporting period.
Non-accrual Loans
A loan may be left on accrual status during the period the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. The Company reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the Company’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Company’s judgment, payments are probable to remain current. As of September 30, 2020, there were no loans within the Company’s portfolio that were on non-accrual status.
Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses
The Company measures realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.

13


Management and Incentive Fees
The Company accrues for the base management fee and incentive fee payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The accrual for incentive fee may include the recognition of incentive fees on unrealized gains, even though such incentive fees are neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized losses on investments. See “Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions - Investment Advisory Agreement - Incentive Fee.”
U.S. Federal Income Taxes
The Company intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with the Company’s taxable year ending December 31, 2020. Generally, a RIC is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on the income and gains it distributes to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any. Additionally, a RIC must distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income on an annual basis and any net ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which the RIC previously paid no U.S. federal income tax to avoid a U.S. federal excise tax. The Company intends to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain the Company’s RIC status each year and does not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.
Dividends and Distributions
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The Board determines the amount of distributions to be paid based on a variety of factors including estimates of future earnings. Net realized capital gains, if any, are intended to be distributed at least annually. The Company will calculate both its current and accumulated earnings and profits on a tax basis in order to determine the amount of any distribution that constituted a return of capital to the Company’s stockholders and while such distributions are not taxable, they may result in higher capital gains taxes when the shares are eventually sold.
Per Share Information
Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. For the periods presented, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same since there are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities - at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and
Purchases and sale of investment securities, income and expenses - at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.
Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above and the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held; therefore, fluctuations related to foreign exchange rate conversions are included with the net realized gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.
Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Acquisition of Initial Portfolio
On May 27, 2020, the Company acquired from TPC and certain of its subsidiaries, a select portfolio of investments originated through TPC consisting of funded debt investments, future funding obligations and warrants associated with both the funded debt investments and future funding obligations. This initial portfolio included 30 secured loans with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $91.3 million and warrants to purchase shares in 23 portfolio companies of $3.6 million. The valuation of this initial portfolio was approved by the Board in consultation with the Adviser and consideration of valuations performed by independent third-party valuation firms.
Investment Advisory Agreement
In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, subject to the overall supervision of the Board and in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to the Company. The Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board, including all of our independent directors, in April 2020 and was effective for an initial two-year term commencing on May 27, 2020. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser:
determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of changes to the Company’s portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of investments;

14


executes, closes, services and monitors investments;
determines the securities and other assets purchased, retained or sold;
performs due diligence on prospective investments; and
provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.
As consideration for the investment advisory and management services provided, and pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee consisting of two components - a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee is ultimately borne by the Company’s shareholders.
Base Management Fee
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s average invested equity capital (as defined below) as of the end of the then-current quarter and the prior calendar quarter (and in the case of the Company’s first quarter, the invested equity capital as of such quarter-end). For this purpose, “invested equity capital” means the amounts drawn on the Company’s Capital Commitments.
Following the closing of the listing of shares of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, including in connection with an initial public offering (“IPO”), the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds. The base management fee will be calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of its two most recently completed calendar quarters.
Incentive Fee
The incentive fee, which provides the Adviser with a share of the income that it generates for the Company, consists of two components - investment income and capital gains - which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not payable.
Under the investment income component, the Company will pay the Adviser each quarter 20.0% of the amount by which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) of its net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a “catchup” provision pursuant to which the Adviser receives all of such income in excess of the 2.0% level but less than 2.5%. The effect of the “catch-up” provision is that if pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, the Adviser receives 20.0% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income as if the 2.0% hurdle rate did not apply.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. The investment income component of the incentive fee will be subject to a total return requirement, which will provide that no incentive fee in respect of our pre-incentive fee net investment income will be payable except to the extent that 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since the initial closing of the private placement of shares of the Company’s common stock, which occurred on May 27, 2020 (the “Initial Closing”)) (in either case, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding quarters. In other words, any investment income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20.0% of the amount by which our pre-incentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the “catch-up” provision and (ii) (x) 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the “cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations” is the sum of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Trailing Twelve Quarters. However, following the occurrence (if any) of an IPO, the Trailing Twelve Quarters will be “reset” so as to include, as of the end of any quarter, the calendar quarter then ending and the 11 preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since the IPO, rather than the number of quarters that have occurred since the Initial Closing).
The capital gains component of the incentive fee will be determined and paid annually in arrears at the end of each calendar year or, in the event of an Advanced Liquidity Event (as defined below), the date on which the closing of such Advanced Liquidity Event occurs. At the end of each calendar year (or upon the effectuation of an Advanced Liquidity Event), the Company will pay the Adviser (A) 20.0% of the difference, if positive, of the sum of aggregate cumulative realized capital gains, if any, computed net of aggregate cumulative realized capital losses, if any, and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation, in each case from May 27, 2020, the initial effective date of the Advisory Agreement, through the end of such year (or the date on which an Advanced Liquidity Event occurs), less (B) the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees from May 27, 2020 until the end of such calendar year (or the date on which an Advanced Liquidity Event occurs). For the foregoing purpose, “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” does not include any unrealized capital appreciation. An Advanced Liquidity Event could include: (1) an IPO, (2) a merger with another entity, including an affiliated company, subject to any limitations under the 1940 Act (a “Merger”) or (3) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (an “Asset Sale”).
The Company will accrue, but not pay, a portion of the capital gains incentive fee with respect to net unrealized appreciation. Under GAAP, the Company is required to accrue a capital gains incentive fee that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. In calculating the accrual for the capital gains component of the incentive fee, the Company will consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an incentive fee based on capital gains would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Advisory Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate

15


cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company will record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20.0% of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of the actual capital gains incentive fee paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. Additionally, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, including upon the effectuation of a Merger or Asset Sale, the termination date is treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.
The table below shows the base management and incentive fees accrued during the period. Base management and incentive fees are paid in the quarter following that in which they are earned. The Adviser voluntarily waived the full $176,000 in base management fees accrued for the period from the Company’s commencement of operations to June 30, 2020.

Administration Agreement
The administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) was approved by the Board in April 2020. The Administration Agreement provides that the Administrator is responsible for furnishing the Company with office facilities and equipment and providing the Company with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping services and other administrative services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of the Company’s required administrative services, which includes being responsible for the financial and other records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Company’s stockholders and reports and other materials filed with the SEC and any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing net asset value (“NAV”), overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and printing and disseminating reports and other materials to the Company’s shareholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides significant managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf to those companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance.
In full consideration of the provision of the services of the Administrator, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review of the Board) of the Administrator’s overhead resulting from its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of the chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and their respective staffs. In addition, if requested to provide significant managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies, the Administrator is paid an additional amount based on the services provided, which shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such companies for providing this assistance.
For three months ended September 30, 2020, and for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, expenses paid or payable by the Company to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Note 4. Investments
The Company measures the fair value of its investments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the FASB. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The Adviser considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selects a value within that range that most accurately represents fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant. The Board determines fair value of its investments on at least a quarterly basis or at such other times when the Board feels it would be appropriate to do so given the circumstances. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances present at each valuation date. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

16


ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:
Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.
Level 3—Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.
Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, excluding transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Adviser’s professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Adviser’s senior investment team and approved by the Adviser’s executive management team;
At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by an independent third-party valuation firm. However, the Board does not have de minimis investments of less than 1.0% of the Company’s gross assets (up to an aggregate of 10% of the Company’s gross assets) independently reviewed, given the expenses involved in connection therewith;
The Audit Committee of the Board then reviews these preliminary valuations and makes fair value recommendations to the Board; and
The Board then discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith, based on the input of the Adviser, the respective independent third-party valuation firms and the Audit Committee.
Debt Investments
The debt investments identified on the consolidated schedules of investments are loans made to venture and venture growth stage companies focused in technology and other high growth industries which are backed by a select group of leading venture capital investors. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 as there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and thus the Adviser’s senior management team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.
To estimate the fair value of debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of each debt investment, including any OID, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions which are similar in nature to these debt investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.
The valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance of the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Changes in these unobservable inputs could result in significantly different fair value measurements.
Under certain circumstances, an alternative technique may be used to value certain debt investments that better reflect the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arm’s length transaction,

17


the use of multiple probability weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.
Warrant Investments
Warrant fair values are primarily determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below. Increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs described below could result in a material change in fair value:
Underlying enterprise value of the issuer based on available information, including any information regarding the most recent financing round of borrower. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or the use of recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include option pricing models, including back solve techniques, probability weighted expected return models and other techniques determined to be appropriate.
Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant investment price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant.
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant investment.
Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrant investments, are estimated based on the Adviser’s judgment about the general industry environment.
Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrant investments are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrant investment in each financial reporting period. Warrant investments may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrant investment.
Under certain circumstances alternative techniques may be used to value certain warrants that more accurately reflect the warrants' fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arm’s-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.
These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments that do not have an active observable market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.
Equity Investments
The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third party round of equity financing subsequent to its investment. The Company may adjust the fair value of an equity investment absent a new equity financing event based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions of comparable companies to estimate fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment.
The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There is no single standard for determining the estimated fair value of investments which do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a single estimate may then be determined.
Investment Valuation
Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the following table based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations as of September 30, 2020. The Company transfers investments in and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 as of the beginning balance sheet date, based on changes in the use of observable and unobservable inputs utilized to perform the valuation for the period.

Transfers out of Level 3 are measured as of the date of the transfer. There were no transfers out of Level 3 during the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020.
Realized gains and losses are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Net change in unrealized gains during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.6 million, resulting primarily from market rate adjustments. Net change in unrealized gains during the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020 was $0.9 million, resulting primarily from market rate adjustments.
The following table shows a summary of quantitative information about the Level 3 fair value measurements of investments as of September 30, 2020. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, the Company may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining fair value measurements.

Note 5. Credit Risk
Debt investments may be affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic, economic and political developments, may significantly affect the value of these investments. In addition, the value of these investments may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuate.
In many instances, the portfolio company’s ability to repay the debt investments is dependent on additional funding by its venture capital investors, a future sale or an initial public offering. The value of these investments may be detrimentally affected to the extent a borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no delinquencies and no credit losses on any of its debt investments.

Credit Facility
On July 15, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the Financing Subsidiary, as the borrower, entered into a $150 million secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”) pursuant to a Receivables Financing Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Receivables Financing Agreement” and the secured revolving credit facility thereunder, the “Credit Facility”), by and among the Financing Subsidiary the Company, individually and as collateral manager and as equityholder, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Deutsche Bank, as the facility agent (the “Facility Agent”), Deutsche Bank and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUFG”), as joint lead arrangers, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent and as collection account bank, U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian, and Vervent Inc., as backup collateral manager. In September 2020, the Company amended the Credit Facility to (i) increase its total commitments from $150 million to $250 million and (ii) add two new lenders, KeyBank National Association and TIAA, FSB.
The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature, which allows the Financing Subsidiary to request an increase in the size of the Credit Facility to an amount not to exceed $400 million (including by adding additional lenders under the Credit Facility), subject to certain conditions and the consent of the lenders. The Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the assets of the Financing Subsidiary, including the loans and other investments acquired by the Financing Subsidiary from time to time and collections thereon.
The revolving period under the Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on July 15, 2021, provided that the revolving period may be extended with the consent of the lenders and may also terminate early if an event of default or other adverse events, specified in the Receivables Financing Agreement, occur. The maturity date for the Credit Facility is scheduled to occur two years after the termination of the revolving period, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement. Advances are made under the Credit Facility pursuant to a borrowing base, which generally utilizes a 50% advance rate on the applicable net loan balance of assets held by the Financing Subsidiary, subject to excess concentrations, availability blocks and other restrictions set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement. The advances under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin plus the lender’s cost of funds rate, which is a floating rate based on certain indices, and is subject to certain minimum principal utilization amounts during the revolving period. The applicable margin is equal to 3.50% during the revolving period and increases to 4.50% during the amortization period.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $30.0 million, excluding deferred credit facility costs of $1.3 million, which are included as assets in the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The book value of the Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity, cash repayments and market interest rates of the instrument. The

20


fair value of the Credit Facility would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if determined as of the reporting date. During the period from July 15, 2020 to September 30, 2020, the Company had average outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $13.1 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.00%. As of September 30, 2020, $96.9 million of the Company’s assets were pledged for borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
On May 27, 2020, in conjunction with the Company’s purchase of its initial portfolio of assets, the Company assumed unfunded obligations of $24.5 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s unfunded commitments totaled $48.3 million to 13 portfolio companies, of which $7.0 million was dependent upon the applicable portfolio company reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them.
The Company’s credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow it relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences material adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company.

Does not include $15.3 million backlog of potential future commitments as of September 30, 2020. Refer to the “Backlog of Potential Future Commitments” below.
The fair value at the inception of the delay draw credit agreements is equal to the fees and warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments and is included in “Other accrued expenses and liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
These liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities under ASC Topic 820 as there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of financial instruments. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. The following table shows additional details regarding the Company's unfunded commitment activity during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020:

Note 10.    Equity
Since May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) through September 30, 2020, the Company has issued 7,001,667 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share through a private placement offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $105.0 million. The Company had 7,001,667 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has received capital commitments totaling $322.0 million, of which $217.0 million remains available.
On May 27, 2020, the Company sold 525 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at a price of $1,000.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $525,000. Series A preferred stock is senior to all other classes and series of common stock and will rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred stock, whether such class or series is created in the future. Series A preferred stock is subject to redemption at any time by notice of such redemption on a date selected by the Company. Shares of preferred stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Liquidation Value”), plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and any applicable redemption premium. Dividends on each share of Series A preferred stock are payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year and accrue at a rate of 12.0% per annum on the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. Holders of the shares of Series A preferred stock will not participate in any appreciation in the value of the Company. The Company had 525 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020.
Note 11. Distributions
The Company intends to elect to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. In order to maintain its ability to be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of its net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to its shareholders. Additionally, to avoid a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of the Company’s undistributed income, the Company must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of the Company’s ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which the Company’s capital gains exceed the Company’s capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by the Company to use its taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax.
It is the Company’s intention to distribute all or substantially all of its taxable income earned over the course of the year; thus, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020. However, the Company may choose not to distribute all of its taxable income for a number of reasons, including retaining excess taxable income for investment purposes and/or defer the payment of distributions associated with the excess taxable income for future calendar years.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
Dividends
On November 12, 2020, the Board declared a $0.15 per share regular quarterly distribution, payable on November 20, 2020 to stockholders of record on November 13, 2020.
Recent Portfolio Activity
From October 1, 2020 through November 12, 2020, the Company closed $23.8 million of additional debt commitments, funded $10.5 million in new investments and received $10.0 million of principal prepayments.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise specified, references to “the Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to TriplePoint Private Venture Credit Inc. and its subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements as to:
our and our portfolio companies’ future operating results and financial condition, including the ability of us and our portfolio companies to achieve our respective objectives;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
our relationships with third parties, including but not limited to lenders and venture capital investors, including other investors in our portfolio companies;
the impact and timing of our unfunded commitments;
the expected market for venture capital investments;
the performance of our existing portfolio and other investments we make in the future;
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with TPC, the Adviser and its senior investment team and Investment Committee;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the dependence of our future success on the U.S. and global economies, including with respect to the industries in which we invest;
our expected financings and investments;
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;
the ability of the Adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
the ability of our Adviser and its affiliates to attract, retain and have access to highly talented professionals, including our Adviser’s senior management team;
risk associated with possible disruptions in our operations or the economy generally;
our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a RIC and as a BDC;
the adequacy of our available liquidity, cash resources and working capital and compliance with covenants under our borrowing arrangements;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies in which we have investments;
the ability of the companies in which we have investments to achieve their objectives;
the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
the adequacy, availability and pricing of our financing sources and working capital;
the economic downturn, interest rate volatility, loss of key personnel, and the illiquid nature of our investments; and
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identified under “Risk Factors” in our registration statement on Form 10 that we filed with the SEC on June 9, 2020, in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this report, and in our other filings with the SEC that we make from time to time.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
changes in laws and regulations, changes in political, economic or industry conditions, and changes in the interest rate environment or other conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including with respect to changes resulting from or in response to, or potentially even the absence of changes as a result of, the impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic;

25


the length and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States as well as worldwide, and the magnitude of its impact and time required for economic recovery, including with respect to the impact of travel restrictions and other isolation and quarantine measures on the ability of the Adviser’s investment professionals to conduct in-person diligence on, and otherwise monitor, existing and future investments;
an economic downturn and the time period required for robust economic recovery therefrom, including the current economic downturn as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already generally had a material impact on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition and will likely continue to have a material impact on our portfolio companies’ results of operations and financial condition for its duration, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition;
a contraction of available credit, an inability or unwillingness of our lenders to fund their commitments to us and/or an inability to access capital markets or additional sources of liquidity, including as a result of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and impair our lending and investment activities;
interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly given that we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;
currency fluctuations could adversely affect the results of our investments in foreign companies, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in foreign currency rather than U.S. dollars;
risks associated with possible disruption in our or our portfolio companies’ operations due to wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics; and
the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our registration statement on Form 10 that we filed with the SEC on June 9, 2020, and in our other filings with the SEC that we make from time to time.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include, without limitation, our ability to originate new loans and investments, borrowing costs and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
Overview
We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We were formed in October 2019 to capitalize on the strong worldwide demand from venture capital-backed companies for debt financing originated by the TPC global investment platform and commenced investment operations on May 27, 2020. We participate in and benefit from TPC’s multi-stage Lifespan Approach by lending to early, later, and venture growth stage companies focused in technology and other high growth industries that are backed by TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors and generally have a global business strategy and products or services that appeal to customers and consumers worldwide. We generally view high growth industries as industries which experience a higher than average growth rate as compared to others as a result of demand for new products or services offered by companies in these industries. It is this demand and the potential global addressable market for their products or services that makes them attractive to venture capital investment and therefore attractive lending candidates for us.
Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to shareholders primarily in the form of current income from our secured loans, and secondarily through capital gains from equity “kickers” in the form of warrants and direct equity investments.
In order to expedite the ramp-up of our investment activities and further our ability to meet our investment objectives, on May 27, 2020, we acquired a select portfolio of investments originated through TPC consisting of funded debt investments, future funding obligations and warrants associated with both the funded debt investments and future funding obligations. This initial portfolio included 30 secured loans and warrants to purchase shares in 23 portfolio companies for an aggregate purchase price of $94.6 million. The valuation of this initial portfolio was approved by the Board in consultation with the Adviser and consideration of valuations performed by independent third-party valuation firms our initial portfolio. On May 27, 2020, we sold 7,001,667 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share in a private placement and received $105.0 million of gross proceeds in connection with the private placement. On May 27, 2020, we sold 525 shares of our preferred stock at a price of $1,000.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $525,000.

COVID-19 Developments
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the related effect on the U.S. and global economies, including the current economic downturn and the uncertainty associated with the timing and likelihood of economic recovery, has had adverse consequences for the business operations of some of our portfolio companies, may adversely affect our operations, and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, the operations of the Adviser.
Due to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that certain of our portfolio companies will experience financial distress and, depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its disruption to operations, certain of our portfolio companies may default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. In addition, as a result of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related disruption and financial distress, certain portfolio companies may seek to modify their loans from us, which could reduce the amount or extend the time for payment of principal, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, and/or increase the amount of PIK interest we receive with respect to such investment, among other things. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impeded, and may continue to impede, the ability of certain of our portfolio companies to raise additional capital and/or pursue asset sales or otherwise execute strategic transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of our investments in such companies. Portfolio companies operating in certain industries may be more susceptible to these risks than other portfolio companies in other industries in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our portfolio companies have already taken steps to significantly reduce, modify, or alter business strategies and operations, and we expect that additional portfolio companies may take similar steps if subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, which may impair their business on a permanent basis. In addition, due to the completion of equity rounds by certain portfolio companies at lower valuations than rounds completed prior to the onset of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience unrealized depreciation on certain of our warrant and equity investments despite the relevant companies’ ability to mitigate disruptions on their business strategies and operations. There can be no assurance that future equity rounds completed by our portfolio companies will be at levels greater than or equal to previous rounds, which may result in net unrealized depreciation on our warrant and equity portfolio in future periods.
As of September 30, 2020, we are permitted under the 1940 Act, as a BDC, to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 150% after such borrowing. The Credit Facility also includes certain covenants, including without limitation, a covenant requiring 150% asset coverage in accordance with the 1940 Act. Any significant aggregate unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or significant reductions in our net asset value as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise increases the risk of failing to meet the 1940 Act asset coverage requirements and breaching covenants under the Credit Facility, or otherwise triggering an event of default under the relevant borrowing arrangement. Any such breach of covenant or event of default, if we are not able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders, would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. See “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. We do not expect to breach any of these covenants in the near term assuming that conditions do not materially deteriorate further or for a prolonged period of time.
We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities. Given the dynamic nature of this situation and the fact that there may be developments outside of our control that require us or our portfolio companies to adjust plans of operation, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, it could have a material adverse impact for a prolonged period of time on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of us and our portfolio companies. See “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Asset Quality
Portfolio Composition
We originate and invest primarily in loans that have a secured collateral position and are used by venture capital-backed companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, equipment financings and, on a select basis, revolving loans, together with, in many cases, attached equity “kickers” in the form of warrant investments, and direct equity investments. We believe these investments will provide us with a stable, fixed-income revenue stream along with the potential for our returns to be enhanced by equity-related gains. We underwrite our investments seeking an unlevered yield-to-maturity on our growth capital loans and equipment financings generally ranging from 10% to 18% and on our revolving loans generally ranging from 1% above the current U.S. prime rate to 10%, in each case, with potential for higher returns in the event we are able to exercise warrant investments and realize gains or sell our related equity investments at a profit. We make investments that our Adviser’s senior investment team believes have a low probability of loss due to their expertise and either the existence of or the near-term potential for strong revenue or revenue growth, product validation, customer commitments, intellectual property, financial condition and enterprise value of the potential opportunity. The Adviser’s senior investment team also generally seeks to invest no more than 5% of our total assets in equity investments.

Investment Activity
On May 27, 2020, in conjunction with the commencement of operations, we purchased from TPC the initial portfolio of assets for an aggregate purchase price of $94.6 million, comprised of $91.0 million for the debt investments and $3.6 million for the warrant investments. In connection with the purchase, we assumed funding obligations of $24.5 million to five portfolio companies.

As of September 30, 2020, our unfunded commitments to 13 companies totaled $48.3 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, $5.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments expired or were terminated.

Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences material adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us. We generally expect 50% - 75% of our gross unfunded commitments to eventually be drawn before the expiration of their corresponding availability periods.
The fair value at the inception of the delay draw credit agreements with our portfolio companies is equal to the fees and/or warrants received to enter into these agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments.
Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to period as our Adviser chooses to slow or accelerate new business originations depending on market conditions, rate of investment of TPC’s select group of leading venture capital investors, our Adviser’s knowledge, expertise and experience, our funding capacity (including our ability or inability to raise equity or debt capital), and other market dynamics.

We may enter into commitments with certain portfolio companies that permit an increase in the commitment amount in the future in the event that conditions to such increases are met (“backlog of potential future commitments”). If such conditions to increase are met, these amounts may become unfunded commitments if not drawn prior to expiration. As of September 30, 2020, this backlog of potential future commitments totaled $15.3 million.
Asset Quality
Consistent with TPC’s existing policies, our Adviser maintains a credit watch list which places borrowers into five risk categories based on our Adviser’s senior investment team’s judgment, where 1 is the highest rating and all new loans are generally assigned a rating of 2.

Results of Operations
An important measure of our financial performance is net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized gains (losses). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gains (losses) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized gains (losses) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.
For three months ended September 30, 2020, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $1.8 million, which was comprised of $1.1 million of net investment income and $0.7 million of net realized and unrealized gains. On a per share basis for three months ended September 30, 2020, net investment income was $0.15 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.25 per share.
For the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $2.9 million, which was comprised of $1.9 million of net investment income and $0.9 million of net realized and unrealized gains. On a per share basis for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, net investment income was $0.27 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was $0.40 per share.
Investment Income
Total investment and other income for three months ended September 30, 2020, and for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, was $3.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses consist of base management fee, income incentive fee, capital gains incentive fee, administration agreement expenses, and general and administrative expenses. We anticipate operating expenses will increase over time as our portfolio continues to grow. However, we anticipate operating expenses, as a percentage of totals assets and net assets, will generally decrease over time as our portfolio and capital base expand. We expect base management and income incentive fees will increase as we grow our capital base and our earnings. The capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized and unrealized gains and losses. Interest expenses will generally increase if we draw down on a credit facility or issue debt securities, and we generally expect expenses under the Administration Agreement and general and administrative expenses to increase over time to meet the additional requirements associated with servicing a larger portfolio.
Total operating expenses for three months ended September 30, 2020 were $2.0 million. Total operating expenses for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020 were $2.3 million net of the management fee waiver.
Base management fees totaled $0.5 million for three months ended September 30, 2020. Base management fees totaled $0.6 million for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, of which $0.2 million was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.
There was no income incentive fees or capital gains incentive fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 or for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020.
Administration agreement and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and for the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is net of $0.1 million the Administrator voluntarily waived under the Administration Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net Realized Gains and Losses and Net Unrealized Gains and Losses
Realized gains and losses are included in net realized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Net change in realized and unrealized gains during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.7 million, resulting primarily from market rate adjustments. Net change in realized and unrealized gains during the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020 was $0.9 million, resulting primarily from market rate adjustments.
Net change in realized and unrealized gains or losses in subsequent periods may be volatile as it depends on changes in the market, changes in the underlying performance of our portfolio companies and their respective industries, and other market factors.
Portfolio Yield and Total Return
Investment income includes interest income on our debt investments utilizing the effective yield method including cash interest income as well as the amortization of any purchase premium, accretion of purchase discount, original issue discount, facilities fees, and the amortization and payment of the EOT payments. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, and from the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, interest income totaled $3.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments for the period held of 13.5% and 13.4%, respectively.
We calculate weighted average annualized portfolio yields for periods shown as the annualized rates of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The weighted average yields reported

31


for these periods are annualized and reflect the weighted average yields to maturities. Should the portfolio companies choose to repay their loans earlier, our weighted average yields will increase for those debt investments affected but may reduce our weighted average yields on the remaining portfolio in future quarters.
The following table shows the weighted average annualized portfolio yield on our total debt portfolio comprising of cash interest income, accretion of the net purchase discount, facilities fees and the value of warrant investments received, accretion of EOT payments and the accelerated receipt of EOT payments on prepayments:

The weighted average portfolio yields on total debt investments reflected above do not represent actual investment returns to our shareholders.
Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments may be higher than an investor’s yield on an investment in shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments does not reflect operating expenses that may be incurred by us. In addition, our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return based on NAV do not represent actual investment returns to common stockholders. Our weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments and total return figures are subject to change and, in the future, may be greater or less than the rates set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Total return based on NAV is the change in ending NAV per common share plus distributions per common share paid during the period divided by the beginning NAV per common share. The total return is for the period shown and is not annualized.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, and from the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, our total return per period based on the change in NAV was 1.7% and 0.7%, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. We consider valuation of investments, income recognition, realized /

32


unrealized gains or losses and U.S. federal income taxes to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. These critical accounting policies and estimates, and any changes thereto, are discussed under “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 4. Investments” in the notes to consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility and our anticipated cash flows from operations, including from contractual monthly portfolio company payments and cash flows, prepayments, and the ability to liquidate publicly traded investments, will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations. This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with “COVID-19 Developments” above.
Cash Flows
During the period from May 27, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of fundings and purchases of investments, was $100.6 million, and net cash provided by financing activities was $132.1 million from proceeds received in connection with the issuance of common and preferred stock, as well as net borrowings under the Credit Facility of $30.0 million.
Capital Resources and Borrowings
As a BDC, we generally have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for investment purposes. As a result, we expect, from time to time, to access the debt and equity markets when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to do so. In this regard, we continue to explore various options for obtaining additional debt or equity capital for investments. This may include expanding or extending the Credit Facility or the entry into additional subscription agreements with investors in a private placement providing for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock in exchange for capital contributions or the issuance of debt securities. If we are unable to obtain leverage or raise equity capital on terms that are acceptable to us, our ability to grow our portfolio could be substantially impacted. As of September 30, 2020, we have received capital commitments totaling $322.0 million, of which $217.0 million remains available.
Credit Facility
We have $250 million in total commitments available under the Credit Facility, subject to various covenants and borrowing base requirements. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature, which allows the Financing Subsidiary to request an increase in the size of the Credit Facility to an amount not to exceed $400 million (including by adding additional lenders under the Credit Facility), subject to certain conditions and the consent of the lenders. The revolving period under the Credit Facility expires on July 15, 2021 and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is scheduled for July 15, 2023. The advances under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin plus the lender’s cost of funds rate, which is a floating rate based on certain indices. The applicable margin is equal to 3.50% during the revolving period and increases to 4.50% during the amortization period. See “Note 6. Borrowings” in the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the terms of the Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million under the Credit Facility, excluding deferred credit facility costs of $1.3 million, which are included as assets in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. We had $220.0 million of remaining capacity on our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020.
Asset Coverage Requirements
We are required under the 1940 Act to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock, of at least 150%. As of September 30, 2020, our asset coverage for total borrowings and other senior securities was 447%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Commitments
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2020, our unfunded commitments totaled $48.3 million to 13 portfolio companies, of which $7.0 million was dependent upon the portfolio companies reaching certain milestones before the debt commitment becomes available to them. Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made commitments in instances

Distributions
We intend to elect to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of our net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid a non-deductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on certain of our undistributed income, we would need to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by us to use our taxable year); and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. In such cases, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.
To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for the year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders. Our Adviser monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a return of capital may occur for the year. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the taxable year. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a dividend payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our taxable ordinary income or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the taxable year. As previously disclosed, we intend to pay quarterly distributions to our common stockholders beginning after the first full quarter following the commencement of our operations/effectiveness of our Form 10 registration statement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, which is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendment, among other things, affects certain disclosure requirements related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and Level 3 fair value measurements as they relate to valuation process, unrealized gains and losses, measurement uncertainty, and significant unobservable inputs. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. These rules did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted rules (the “SEC Release”) amending certain disclosure requirements intended to eliminate redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP requirements or changes in the information environment. In part, the SEC Release requires an investment company to present distributable earnings in total on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in net assets, rather than showing the three components of distributable earnings as previously shown. The impact of the adoption of these rules on our consolidated financial statements was not material. Additionally, the SEC Release requires disclosure of changes in net assets within a registrant's Form 10-Q filing on a quarter-to-date and year-to-date basis for both the current year and prior year comparative periods. We adopted the new requirement to present changes in net assets in interim financial statements within Form 10-Q filings effective May 27, 2020. The adoption of these rules did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

34


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to certain contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform and became effective upon issuance for all entities. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of these rules did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Developments
Dividends
On November 12, 2020, the Board declared a $0.15 per share regular quarterly distribution, payable on November 20, 2020 to stockholders of record on November 13, 2020.
Recent Portfolio Activity
From October 1, 2020 through November 12, 2020, we closed $23.8 million of additional debt commitments, funded $10.5 million in new investments and received $10.0 million of principal prepayments.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. We are also subject to risks relating to the capital markets; conditions affecting the general economy; legislative reform; and local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability. U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and in values of publicly-traded securities. Any continuation of the stresses on capital markets and credit markets, or a further increase in volatility could result in a contraction of available credit for us and/or an inability by us to access the equity or debt capital markets or could otherwise cause an inability or unwillingness of our lenders to fund their commitments to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings and in the relative values of our portfolio that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and Prime Rates, to the extent that any debt investments include floating interest rates. Debt investments are made with either floating rates that are subject to contractual minimum interest rates for the term of the investment or fixed interest rates.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates could reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in interest rates are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over Prime that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities.
As of September 30, 2020, a majority of the debt investments (approximately 70.0%, or $70.1 million in principal balance) in our portfolio bore interest at floating rates, which generally are Prime-based, all of which have interest rate floors. Substantially all of our unfunded commitments float with changes in the Prime rate from the date we enter into the commitment to the date of the actual draw.

35


As of September 30, 2020, our floating rate borrowings totaled $30.0 million. The following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure from the September 30, 2020 consolidated statement of assets and liabilities:

This analysis is indicative of the potential impact on our investment income as of September 30, 2020, assuming an immediate and sustained change in interest rates as noted. It should be noted that we anticipate growth in our portfolio funded in part with borrowings under the Credit Facility and other borrowings, and such borrowings, to the extent they are floating rate borrowings, all else being equal, will increase our investment income sensitivity to interest rates, and such changes could be material. In addition, this analysis does not adjust for potential changes in our portfolio or our borrowing facilities nor does it take into account any changes in the credit performance of our loans that might occur should interest rates change.
Because it is our intention to hold loans to maturity, the fluctuating relative value of these loans that may occur due to changes in interest rate may have an impact on unrealized gains and losses during quarterly reporting periods. Based on our assessment of the interest rate risk, as of September 30, 2020, we had no hedging transactions in place as we deemed the risk acceptable, and we did not believe it was necessary to mitigate this risk at that time.
While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively hedge our interest rate risk.
Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates and other factors drive our performance more directly than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
