TICC Issues Presentation to Inform Stockholders How Best to Protect Their Investment and Distribution

GREENWICH, CT--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2015) - TICC Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) (the "Company," "TICC," "we," or "our") today issued a slide presentation entitled "The Simple Facts on TICC and the BSP Agreement: How to Protect Your Investment and Distribution," to provide the Company's large retail investor base with the information needed to help them understand the benefits of the Benefit Street Partners ("BSP") investment advisory agreement, the process undertaken by TICC to protect the interests of all stockholders, and the deficiencies of the alternative proposals that have been put before them by TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. ("TSLX" or "TPG BDC") and NexPoint Advisors, L.P. ("NexPoint").

The Special Committee of the TICC Board of Directors, which is comprised of three independent directors, continues to support the BSP agreement as the best outcome for TICC stockholders. Once BSP becomes TICC's investment adviser, stockholders will benefit from, among other items:

• No reduction to TICC's current distribution¹
• No dilution to TICC's net asset value (NAV)
• Substantially lower management fees and larger investment staff
• Superior loan origination capability and a more diversified portfolio over time

As set out in more detail in the slide presentation, the Special Committee believes that the alternative proposals from TPG BDC and NexPoint are not in the best interests of TICC stockholders because, among other items:

• The TPG BDC proposal would result in an immediate and permanent dilution to TICC's stockholders on a NAV basis
• The TPG BDC proposal would create ~$30 million2 of annual revenue /profit for TPG -- the global private equity firm which has a significant stake in TPG BDC's investment adviser, and its affiliates -- at the expense of TICC's stockholders
• TICC stockholder distributions would decrease immediately¹ under the TPG BDC proposal
• The Special Committee believes that NexPoint does not have the same investment expertise as BSP

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz are advising the Special Committee.
