PHOENIX, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinity Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIN) ("Trinity Capital" or the "Company"), a leading provider of diversified financial solutions to growth-stage companies, today announced that on September 13, 2023, its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.54 per share with respect to the quarter ending September 30, 2023, consisting of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.49 per share and a supplemental cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend represents an increase of 2.1% over the regular dividend declared in the prior quarter.

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the supplemental cash dividend in order to comply with regulated investment company tax requirements for distributing its undistributed taxable income from fiscal 2023.    

The following are key dates for the regular and new supplemental dividend for the quarter ending September 30, 2023:

Summary of Third Quarter 2023 Regular and Supplemental Dividend:

Declaration Date	September 13, 2023
Record Date	September 30, 2023
Payment Date	October 13, 2023

 

The Company's objective is to distribute four quarterly dividends in an amount that approximates 90% to 100% of its taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year in order to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In addition, during any particular year, the Company may pay additional supplemental dividends, so that the Company distributes approximately all its annual taxable income in the year it was earned, or it may spill over the excess taxable income into the coming year for future dividend payments.

Dividends are paid from taxable earnings and may include a return of capital and/or capital gains. The specific tax characteristics of the dividends will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the calendar year and in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
