TRIANGLE CAPITAL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER

2011 RESULTS AND ANNOUNCES $15.7 MILLION IN NEW

INVESTMENTS

RALEIGH, NC – August 3, 2011, Triangle Capital Corporation (NYSE: TCAP) (“Triangle” or the “Company”), a leading specialty finance company that provides customized financing solutions to lower middle market companies located throughout the United States, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2011.

Commenting on the quarter, Garland S. Tucker, III, President and CEO, stated, “We are extremely pleased again to report very strong quarterly results. Our existing investment portfolio continues to perform well and we continue to find attractive new investment opportunities in the lower middle market.”

Second Quarter 2011 Results

Total investment income during the second quarter of 2011 was $16.4 million, compared to total investment income of $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 97.9%. The Company’s increase in investment income is primarily attributable to new portfolio investments made during 2010 and 2011 which resulted in an increase in total loan interest, fee, dividend and paid-in-kind interest income of approximately $8.1 million. This increase also includes approximately $1.7 million, or approximately $0.09 on a per share basis, of additional fee revenue relating primarily to the sale of two portfolio companies during the second quarter of 2011.

Net investment income during the second quarter of 2011 was $10.2 million, compared to net investment income of $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 124.3%. The Company’s net investment income per share during the second quarter of 2011 was $0.55, based on a weighted average share count of 18,570,929, as compared to $0.38 during the second quarter of 2010, based on a weighted average share count of 12,003,068.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $14.5 million during the second quarter of 2011, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $6.9 million during the second quarter of 2010. The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.78 per share during the second quarter of 2011 based on a weighted average share count of 18,570,929, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.57 per share during the second quarter of 2010, based on a weighted average share count of 12,003,068.


The Company’s net asset value, or NAV, per share at June 30, 2011, was $13.79 as compared to $12.09 per share at December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s weighted average yield on its outstanding, currently yielding, debt investments was approximately 15.1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $68.2 million.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company closed a three-year senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an initial commitment of $50.0 million. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature which allows for an increase in the total loan size up to $90.0 million and also contains two one-year extension options bringing the total potential funding period to five years from closing. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.95%. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had issued non-callable, fixed rate SBA guaranteed debentures outstanding totaling $224.1 million.

Dividend and Distribution Information

On May 31, 2011, Triangle announced that its board of directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share, representing a $0.02 increase over the prior quarterly dividend. This was the Company’s eighteenth consecutive quarterly dividend since its initial public offering in February, 2007. The dividend was payable as follows:

Record Date: June 15, 2011

Payment Date: June 29, 2011

Triangle has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends.

When the Company declares and pays dividends, it determines the allocation of the distribution between current income, accumulated income and return of capital on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). At each year end, the Company is required for tax purposes to determine the dividend allocation based on tax accounting principles. Due to differences between GAAP and tax accounting principles, the portion of each dividend distribution that is ordinary income, capital gain or return of capital may differ for GAAP and tax purposes.

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the second quarter of 2011, Triangle made five new investments totaling approximately $35.2 million, three debt investments in existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $32.7 million, and one equity investment in an existing portfolio company of approximately $0.1


million. Also during the second quarter of 2011, five portfolio company loans repaid at par totaling approximately $28.3 million and the Company received normal principal repayments and partial loan prepayments totaling approximately $2.3 million.

As previously announced, on May 2, 2011, Triangle recognized a long term capital gain of approximately $12.2 million in connection with the sale of certain assets of Fischbein, LLC (“Fischbein”). Triangle’s investment in Fischbein consisted of $8.4 million in subordinated debt and $4.8 million in equity. The total investment yielded an internal rate of return of 33.7%. Fischbein is a global manufacturer of flexible packaging and materials handling equipment.

New investment transactions which occurred during the second quarter of 2011 are summarized as follows:

On April 2, 2011, Triangle made a $5.0 million investment in The Main Resource (“TMR”) consisting of subordinated debt with warrants. TMR sells a wide range of automotive supplies, repair items and replacement parts used in automotive service garages.
