“During the third quarter, we took advantage of strong demand from high-quality venture growth stage companies in AI, software and other attractive sectors to grow the debt investment portfolio,” said Jim Labe, chairman and chief executive officer of TPVG. “TPVG experienced its highest level of debt commitments and fundings since 2022, resulting in Q3 fundings that significantly exceeded our guided range and reached the highest level in 11 quarters.” “We continue to position TPVG for the future with a focus on furthering our strategy to increase TPVG’s scale, durability, income- generating assets, and NAV over the long-term,” said Sajal Srivastava, president and chief investment officer of the Company. “As we progress on our selective path of portfolio diversification, we are pleased to have added 19 new portfolio companies year to date.” PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into $181.8 million of new debt commitments with 12 portfolio companies, funded debt investments totaling $88.2 million to 10 portfolio companies, acquired warrants in 10 portfolio companies with a cost basis of $0.8 million, and made a direct equity investment of $0.6 million in one portfolio company. Debt investments funded during the quarter carried a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 11.5% at origination. During the quarter, the Company received $15.0 million of principal prepayments, $0.5 million of early repayments and $4.0 million of scheduled principal amortization. The weighted average annualized portfolio yield on debt investments for the third quarter was 13.2%. The Company calculates weighted average portfolio yield as the annualized rate of the interest income recognized during the period divided by the average amortized cost of debt investments in the portfolio during the period. The return on average equity for the third quarter was 11.7% based on net investment income. The Company calculates return on average equity as the annualized rate of net investment income recognized during the period divided by the Company’s average net asset value during the period. As of September 30, 2025, the Company held debt investments in 49 portfolio companies, warrants in 112 portfolio companies and equity investments in 53 portfolio companies. The total cost and fair value of these investments were $828.7 million and $798.5 million, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Total investment and other income was $22.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield of 13.2% on debt investments, as compared to $26.5 million and 15.7% for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in total investment and other income was primarily due to lower investment yields due in part to decreases in the Prime rate and less prepayment income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s total investment and other income was $68.4 million, as compared to $82.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a weighted average annualized portfolio yield on total debt investments of 14.0% and 15.6%, respectively. For the third quarter of 2025, total operating expenses, inclusive of an income incentive fee waiver of $2.1 million, were $12.3 million as compared to $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 consisted of $6.8 million of interest expense and amortization of fees, $3.4 million of base management fees, $0.6 million of Administration Agreement expenses and $1.6 million of general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s net realized and unrealized gains were $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net realized and unrealized losses of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the third quarter of 2025 was $15.2 million, or $0.38 per share, as compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $22.6 million, or $0.57 per share, for the third quarter of 2024.
