This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

•the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies.
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; •the length and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak inthe United States as well as worldwide, and the magnitude of its impact and time required for economic recovery; •an economic downturn and the time period required for robust economic recovery therefrom, including relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, which 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, especially as we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those 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.
Insight
We are an externally managed, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code forU.S. federal income tax purposes. Our shares are currently listed on theNew York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "TPVG".
We were created to expand the venture capital growth stage business segment of TPC’s investment platform. TPC is widely recognized as a leading global financing provider dedicated to serving venture-backed companies with creative, flexible and customized debt financing, equity and complementary services throughout their life. lifetime. TPC is located on
Our investment objective is to maximize our total shareholder return primarily in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by lending primarily with warrants to growth-stage companies focused on technology and other high-growth industries supported by TPC’s select group. leading venture capitalists.
COVID-19 developments
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the related effect on theU.S. and global economies, including 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 and threatens to continue to adversely affect our operations and the operations of the Adviser. While we have been monitoring, and continue to monitor, the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our and our portfolio companies' business, we have continued to raise capital, maintain appropriate levels of available liquidity, support and monitor our existing portfolio companies, fund existing unfunded commitments, and selectively deploy capital in new investment opportunities in venture capital-backed companies. Any significant increase in 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 under the governing agreements for the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes, or otherwise triggering an event of default under our borrowing arrangements. Any such breach of covenant or event of default, if we are not able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders or debt holders, 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 and "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 for more information. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we were in compliance with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act and with our covenants under the Credit Facility and under the governing agreements for the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes. We will continue to monitor the evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related guidance fromU.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, particularly with respect to our interest income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and our portfolio companies' respective results of operations and financial condition. See "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings with theSEC that we make from time to time, for more information. 54

Portfolio composition, investment activity and asset quality
Composition of the portfolio
We originate and invest primarily in venture growth stage companies. Companies at the venture growth stage have distinct characteristics differentiating them from venture capital-backed companies at other stages in their development lifecycle. We invest primarily in (i) growth capital loans that have a secured collateral position and that are generally used by venture growth stage companies to finance their continued expansion and growth, (ii) equipment financings, which may be structured as loans or leases, that have a secured collateral position on specified mission-critical equipment, (iii) on a select basis, revolving loans that have a secured collateral position and that are typically used by venture growth stage companies to advance against inventory, components, accounts receivable, contractual or future billings, bookings, revenues, sales or cash payments and collections including proceeds from a sale, financing or the equivalent and (iv) direct equity investments in venture growth stage companies. In connection with our growth capital loans, equipment financings and revolving loans, we generally receive warrant investments as part of the transaction that allow us to participate in any equity appreciation of our borrowers and enhance our overall investment returns. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we had 318 investments in 116 companies. Our investments included 139 debt investments, 120 warrant investments, and 59 direct equity and related investments. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , the aggregate cost and fair value of these investments were$969.2 million and$962.4 million , respectively. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , 12 of our portfolio companies were publicly traded. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , the 139 debt investments had an aggregate fair value of$856.7 million and a weighted average loan to enterprise value ratio at the time of underwriting of 7.7%. Enterprise value of a portfolio company is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of equity funding, at the time of origination. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , we had 246 investments in 91 companies. Our investments included 107 debt investments, 92 warrant investments, and 47 direct equity and related investments.

As ofDecember 31, 2021 , 10 of our portfolio companies were publicly traded. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the 107 debt investments had an aggregate fair value of$757.2 million and a weighted average loan to enterprise value ratio at the time of underwriting of 7.7%. Enterprise value of a portfolio company is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of equity funding, at the time of origination.

Operating results
Comparison of operating results for the three and nine months ended
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 the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was$0.4 million , which was comprised of$16.9 million of net investment income and$16.4 million of net realized and unrealized losses. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was$38.9 million , which was comprised of$9.9 million of net investment income and$29.0 million of net realized and unrealized gains. On a per share basis for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , net investment income was$0.51 per share and the net increase in net assets from operations was$0.01 per share, as compared to net investment income of$0.32 per share and a net increase in net assets from operations of$1.26 per share for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , our net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was$8.3 million , which was comprised of$43.1 million of net investment income and$51.3 million of net realized and unrealized losses. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , our net increase in net assets resulting from operations was$62.7 million , which was comprised of$28.2 million of net investment income and$34.5 million of net realized and unrealized gains. On a per share basis for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , net investment income was$1.35 per share and the net decrease in net assets from operations was$0.26 per share, as compared to net investment income of$0.91 per share and a net increase in net assets from operations of$2.03 per share for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 .
investment income
For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , total investment and other income was$29.7 million as compared to$21.2 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . The increase in total investment and other income for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , compared to the 2021 period, is primarily due to a greater weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio and higher investment yields. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , total investment and other income was$84.5 million as compared to$61.5 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . The increase in total investment and other income for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , compared to the 2021 period, is primarily due to a greater weighted average principal amount outstanding on our income-bearing debt investment portfolio, higher investment yields and increased prepayment activity. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we recognized$0.5 million in other income consisting of$0.1 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and$0.4 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we recognized$2.3 million in other income consisting of$0.1 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and$2.2 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we recognized$2.5 million in other income consisting of$0.2 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and$2.3 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we recognized we recognized$3.9 million in other income consisting of$0.5 million due to the termination or expiration of unfunded commitments and$3.3 million from the realization of certain fees paid and accrued from portfolio companies and other income related to prepayment activity. 60 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Functionnary costs
Total operating expenses consist of our base management fee, income incentive fee, capital gains incentive fee, interest expense and amortization of fees, 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 asset base and our earnings. The capital gains incentive fee will depend on realized gains and losses and unrealized losses. Interest expenses will generally increase as we borrow greater amounts under the Credit Facility, issue additional debt securities, and as interest rates increase. 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. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , total operating expenses were$12.8 million as compared to$11.3 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , total operating expenses were$41.4 million as compared to$33.3 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . Base management fees for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled$3.9 million and$3.2 million , respectively. Base management fees increased during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , due to an increase in the average size of our portfolio during the applicable periods used in the calculation. Base management fees for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled$11.6 million and$9.2 million , respectively. Base management fees increased during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , due to an increase in the average size of our portfolio during the applicable periods used in the calculation. Income incentive fees totaled$0.1 million and$2.5 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and$6.7 million and$7.0 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , our income incentive fee was reduced by$3.3 million due to the total return requirement under the income component of our incentive fee structure, which resulted in a corresponding increase of$3.3 million in net investment income. Income incentive fees decreased during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , due to the total return requirement described above.
There was no capital gains incentive commission expense for the three and nine month periods ended
Interest expense and amortization of fees totaled$7.2 million and$4.1 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , is due to a greater weighted-average outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility and an increase in interest rates. Interest expense and amortization of fees totaled$18.4 million and$12.6 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , is due to the issuance of the 2027 Notes in the first quarter of 2022 and a greater weighted-average outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility and an increase in interest rates. Administration agreement and general and administrative expenses totaled$1.7 million and$1.6 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Administration agreement and general and administrative expenses totaled$4.8 million and$4.4 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , was primarily due to higher administration expenses under the Administration Agreement as well as increased third-party expenses.
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 Statements of Income.
During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we recognized net realized losses on investments of$13.2 million , resulting primarily from the sale ofPencil and Pixel, Inc. , which was rated Red (5) on our watch list, and its removal from our investment portfolio. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we recognized net realized losses on investments of$17.0 million , primarily resulting from the sale ofPencil and Pixel, Inc. and the sale of our investment inCasper Sleep Inc. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we recognized net realized losses on investments of$3.1 million , consisting of a$2.1 million realized loss from the write-off of an equity investment and$1.0 million of realized losses from the termination of warrants. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we recognized net realized losses on investments of$18.8 million , consisting primarily of$15.6 million of realized losses from the sale of our investment inKnotel, Inc. , which was rated Red (5) on our credit watch list, and its removal from our investment portfolio, a$2.1 million realized loss from the write-off of an equity investment and$1.1 million of realized losses from the termination of warrants.
Unrealized gains and losses are included in “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net change in unrealized losses during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was$3.2 million , consisting of$4.6 million of net unrealized losses on our warrant and equity portfolio resulting from fair value and mark-to-market adjustments as well as$5.0 million of net unrealized losses from foreign currency adjustments, offset by$6.4 million of net unrealized gains on our debt investment portfolio, of which$13.2 million of unrealized gains relate to the reversal of previous losses onPencil and Pixel, Inc. and$6.8 million of net unrealized losses are due to fair value adjustments. Net change in unrealized losses during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was$34.3 million , consisting of$14.8 million of net unrealized losses on our debt investment portfolio,$9.4 million of net unrealized losses on our warrant and equity portfolio resulting from fair value and mark-to-market adjustments, as well as$10.1 million of net unrealized losses from foreign currency adjustments. Net change in unrealized gains during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 was$32.1 million , resulting primarily from fair value adjustments. Net change in unrealized gains during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 was$54.0 million , resulting primarily from the reversal and recognition of$15.6 million of previously recorded unrealized losses associated withKnotel, Inc. in connection with the recognition of a realized loss on the investment, as well as net unrealized gains on our investment portfolio resulting from fair value adjustments.
The net change in realized and unrealized gains or losses in subsequent periods may be volatile, as these results depend on market developments, changes in the underlying performance of our portfolio companies and their respective industries , and other market factors.
Portfolio return 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 end-of-term ("EOT") payments. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , interest income totaled$29.2 million and$82.1 million , respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments for the period held of 13.8% and 14.5%, respectively. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , interest income totaled$18.7 million and$57.7 million , respectively, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments for the period held of 12.3% and 13.2%, 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 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. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the yield on our total debt portfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments, was 13.8% and 13.1%, respectively. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , the yield on our total debt portfolio, excluding the impact of prepayments, was 12.1% and 12.0%, respectively. 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: Ratios For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, (Percentages, on an annualized basis)(1) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments(2) 13.8 % 12.3 % 14.5 % 13.2 % Coupon income 11.3 % 9.8 % 10.6 % 9.8 % Accretion of discount 0.8 % 0.9 % 0.8 % 0.8 % Accretion of end-of-term payments 1.7 % 1.4 % 1.7 % 1.4 % Impact of prepayments during the period - % 0.2 % 1.4 % 1.2 % _____________ (1)Weighted average portfolio yields on total debt investments for periods shown are the annualized rates of interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. (2)The weighted average portfolio yields on total debt investments reflected above do not represent actual investment returns to our stockholders. 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 and, thus, by our stockholders. 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 figures do not represent actual investment returns to 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 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Total return based on NAV is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in our dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share for such period. 62 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total return based on stock price is the change in the ending stock price of our common stock plus distributions paid during the period assuming participation in our dividend reinvestment plan divided by the beginning stock price of our common stock for such period. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , our total return during the period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 1.0% and (1.4)%, respectively, and our total return during the period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was (11.8)% and (34.2)%, respectively. For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , our total return during the period based on the change in NAV plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 9.5% and 16.5%, respectively, and our total return during the period based on the change in stock price plus distributions reinvested as of the respective distribution dates was 6.8% and 31.9%, respectively. These total return figures are for the periods indicated and are not annualized.

Critical accounting policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management 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, including with respect to the valuation of our investments, could cause actual results to differ. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management's judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We describe our most significant accounting policies in "Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies" in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2021 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. Management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming the estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. We have identified the valuation of our investment portfolio, including our investment valuation policy (which has been approved by the Board), as our critical accounting policy and estimates. The critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with our risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2021 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Investment appraisal
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 946 and measured 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. 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, our 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. Our valuation 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, management, with oversight from the Board, may refine our valuation methodologies to best reflect the fair value of our investments appropriately. 63 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investments" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our valuation process.
Cash 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 net cash proceeds from our ATM Program (described below) and 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, including to fund our unfunded commitment obligations.
Cash flow
During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , net cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in "Results of Operations," was$107.3 million , and net cash provided by financing activities was$63.1 million due primarily to the issuance of the 2027 Notes and proceeds received from ourAugust 2022 public follow-on offering of common stock, offset by net repayments under the Credit Facility of$79.0 million and$33.7 million in distributions paid. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was$15.0 million . During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , net cash used in operating activities, consisting primarily of purchases, sales and repayments of investments and the items described in "Results of Operations," was$76.5 million , and net cash provided by financing activities was$54.9 million due primarily to the issuance of the 2026 Notes, partially offset by net repayments under the Credit Facility of$33.0 million , the redemption of the 2022 Notes and$34.9 million in distributions paid. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was$23.1 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 issuance of additional shares of our common stock, including through our ATM Program (as described below) or 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.
Credit facility
As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we had$350 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 us to increase the size of the Credit Facility to up to$400 million under certain circumstances. The revolving period under the Credit Facility expires onMay 31, 2024 , and the maturity date of the Credit Facility isNovember 30, 2025 (unless otherwise terminated earlier pursuant to its terms). Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the sum of (i) a floating rate based on certain indices, including SOFR and commercial paper rates (subject to a floor of 0.50%), plus (ii) a margin of 2.80% if facility utilization is greater than or equal to 75%, 2.90% if utilization is greater than or equal to 50%, 3.00% if utilization is less than 50% and 4.5% during the amortization period. See "Note 6. Borrowings" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the terms of the Credit Facility. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of$121.0 million and$200.0 million , respectively, excluding deferred credit facility costs of$4.5 million and$2.2 million , respectively, which is included in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. We had$229.0 million and$150.0 million of remaining capacity on our Credit Facility as ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , respectively.

Asset Coverage Requirements OnJune 21, 2018 , our stockholders voted at a special meeting of stockholders to approve a proposal to authorize us to be subject to a reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the special meeting, effectiveJune 22, 2018 , our applicable minimum asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act has been decreased to 150% from 200%. Thus, we are permitted under the 1940 Act, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of debt and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 150% immediately after each such issuance.

As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , our unfunded commitments to 37 companies totaled$331.1 million . During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 ,$19.0 million and$25.8 million , respectively, in unfunded commitments expired or were terminated.
From
Our credit agreements contain customary lending provisions that allow us relief from funding obligations for 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. 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 relevant counterparty's credit profile. The unfunded commitment liability reflects the fair value of these future funding commitments. As ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , the fair value for these unfunded commitments totaled$5.3 million and$3.2 million , respectively, and was included in "other accrued expenses and liabilities" in our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Distributions We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. To 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 onOctober 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 noU.S. federal income tax. For the tax years endedDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, we were subject to a 4%U.S. federal excise tax and we may be subject to this tax in future years. 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. We estimate the source of our distributions as required by Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act to determine whether payment of dividends are expected to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods, but we will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as made out of our taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after the end of our taxable year. Any amount treated as a return of capital will reduce a stockholder's adjusted tax basis in his or her common stock, thereby increasing his or her potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the subsequent sale or other disposition of his or her common stock. On a quarterly basis, for any payment of dividends estimated to be paid from any other source other than net investment income accrued for the current period or certain cumulative periods based on the Section 19(a) requirement, we post a Section 19(a) notice through theDepository Trust Company's Legal Notice System and our website, as well as send our registered stockholders a printed copy of such notice along with the dividend payment. The estimates of the source of the distribution are interim estimates based on GAAP that are subject to revision, and the exact character of the distributions for tax purposes cannot be determined until the final books and records are finalized for the calendar year. Therefore, these estimates are made solely in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and should not be relied upon for tax reporting or any other purposes and could differ significantly from the actual character of distributions for tax purposes. 68 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table shows our cash distributions per share that have been authorized by our Board since our initial public offering toSeptember 30, 2022 . FromMarch 5, 2014 (commencement of operations) toDecember 31, 2015 , and during the years endedDecember 31, 2017 andDecember 31, 2018 , distributions represent ordinary income as our earnings exceeded distributions. Approximately$0.24 per share of the distributions during the year endedDecember 31, 2016 represented a return of capital. During the years endedDecember 31, 2021 , 2020 and 2019, distributions represent ordinary income and long term capital gains. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact on our portfolio companies' operations and our net investment income, any future distributions to our stockholders may be for amounts less than our historical distributions, may be made less frequently than historical practices, and may be made in part cash and part stock (as per each stockholder's election), subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all stockholders must be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution.

Recent accounting pronouncements
InJune 2022 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions" ("ASU 2022-03"). ASU 2022-03 (1) clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction and (2) requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2023 and interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-03 on our consolidated financial statements. InJanuary 2021 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ("ASU 2021-01"). ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR; regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately throughDecember 31, 2022 , for all entities. The adoption of these rules did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Recent Developments Distribution
