TCP Capital Corp. Announces Certain Preliminary Financial Estimates for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TCP Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TCPC, the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") today announced certain preliminary financial estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Set forth below is a preliminary estimate of our net asset value per share as of March 31, 2017 and a preliminary estimate of our net investment income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The following estimates are not a comprehensive statement of our financial condition or results for the period from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. We advise you that our actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 may differ materially from these estimates, which are given only as of the date of this press release, as a result of the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments, including changes in the businesses to which we have made loans, which may arise between now and the time that our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are finalized. This information is inherently uncertain.

As of the date of this press release, we currently expect that our net investment income per share was between $0.46 and $0.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and our net investment income per share after incentive compensation was between $0.37 and $0.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of the date of this press release, we estimate that our net asset value per share as of March 31, 2017 was between $14.89 and $14.95.

The estimates presented above are based on management's preliminary determinations only and, consequently, the data set forth in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 may differ from these estimates, and any such differences may be material. For example, estimated net asset value per share is based on the value of the Company's total assets, including the Company's investments (many of which are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, the fair value of which is determined by the Company's board of directors in good faith). The fair value of such investments have not yet been determined by the Company's board of directors and the actual fair value of such investments, when determined by the Company's board of directors, may be different than the estimates reported herein. In addition, the information presented above does not include all of the information regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations as of and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 that may be important to investors. As a result, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the information presented above and should view this information in the context of the Company's full first quarter results when such results are disclosed by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017. The information presented above is based on current management expectations that involve substantial risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, such information. The Company assumes no duty to update these preliminary estimates except as required by law.

The preliminary financial estimates provided herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data. Accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express an opinion or any form of assurance with respect thereto.
