Additionally, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.51 per share with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2025. This is an equivalent dividend compared to the third quarter of 2025 and marks the 24th consecutive quarter of a consistent or increased dividend for Trinity shareholders. The three monthly dividends in the first quarter of 2026 total $0.51, which is consistent with prior quarterly dividends and will signal the 25th straight quarter of a consistent distribution for Trinity Capital stockholders.

"We are committed to operating with a shareholder-first mindset, and this change to monthly distributions offers investors greater frequency with dividend income," said Kyle Brown, CEO of Trinity Capital. "We will continue to pursue initiatives that enhance value and strengthen returns for our shareholders."

Summary of the upcoming dividends for the Fourth Quarter 2025 and First Quarter 2026:

The Company's objective is to distribute regular 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.
