Technology Investment Capital Corp. to Change Name to TICC Capital Corp.


GREENWICH, CT--(Marketwire - October 1, 2007) - Technology Investment Capital Corp. ("TICC") (NASDAQ: TICC) announced today that it intends to change its name to TICC Capital Corp.

"While we expect that the technology-related sector will continue to be a focus of our investment efforts, we believe that this change will allow us to take advantage of an increasing number of investment opportunities outside this sector that otherwise match our investment criteria," said Jonathan Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of TICC.

Once the name change becomes effective, TICC will no longer maintain a policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in technology-related companies.

The name change is expected to become effective on or about December 3, 2007.
