Oxford Square Capital (OXSQ) 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Exhibit 99.1

TICC Announces Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and Announces Distribution

GREENWICH, CT – 11/5/2009 – TICC Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TICC) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and a distribution of $0.15 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009.

HIGHLIGHTS

• For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we recorded net investment income of approximately $3.2 million, or approximately $0.12 per share, net unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately $22.3 million and net realized losses on investments of approximately $10.5 million. In total, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of approximately $0.56 per share for the third quarter.

• Total investment income for the third quarter amounted to approximately $4.9 million, down approximately 44% from the third quarter of 2008 largely due to a smaller portfolio as a result of de-levering actions throughout 2008, as well as a lower return on our debt investment portfolio due principally to lower LIBOR rates.

• Expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were approximately $1.8 million, down approximately 42% from the third quarter of 2008 due largely to the elimination of interest expense associated with our de-levering actions throughout 2008 and lower investment advisory fees attributable to our smaller portfolio. The primary components of our expenses were approximately $1.1 million in investment advisory fees and approximately $323,000 in professional fees for valuation, legal and auditing services.

• During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of approximately $22.3 million, comprised of $14.3 million in write-ups on investments, $2.8 million in write-downs and approximately $10.8 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized depreciation upon the realization events associated with certain investments.

• For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we had net realized losses on investments of approximately $10.5 million, which represents primarily the realization of the economic loss previously recorded as unrealized depreciation.

• Our Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.15 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009.

• Payable Date: December 31, 2009

• Record Date: December 10, 2009

• During the third quarter, we closed eight new investments with a face amount of approximately $30.0 million and a total cost of approximately $25.1 million for an aggregate discount of approximately 16% from par. Each of these investments represents the senior secured notes issued by the respective companies.

• At September 30, 2009, the weighted average yield of our debt investments (excluding cash equivalents and assuming no interest income from any investments on non-accrual status) was approximately 8.4%.

• At September 30, 2009, the weighted average yield of our debt investments, excluding our investments on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2009, was approximately 11.2%.

• At September 30, 2009, our cash position stood at approximately $29.4 million.

• At September 30, 2009, net asset value per share was $8.07 compared with the net asset value at June 30, 2009 of $7.66 and at December 31, 2008 of $7.68.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

• On October 29, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.15 per share for the fourth quarter, payable on December 31, 2009 to shareholders of record as of December 10, 2009.

⁽¹⁾ Represents per share net investment income for the period, based upon average shares outstanding.

⁽²⁾ Net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) include rounding adjustment to reconcile change in net asset value per share.

⁽³⁾ Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the year. To the extent the Company’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Company’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders. The tax character of distributions will be determined at the end of the fiscal year. However, if the character of such distributions were determined as of September 30, 2009, distributions for 2009 would not have been characterized as a tax return of capital to the Company’s stockholders; this tax return of capital may differ from the return of capital calculated with reference to net investment income for financial reporting purposes.

⁽⁴⁾ Total return equals the increase or decrease of ending market value over beginning market value, plus distributions, divided by the beginning market value, assuming dividend reinvestment prices obtained under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized.

⁽⁵⁾ Annualized. Effective December 30, 2008, the Company had fully repaid all amounts under the revolving credit facility and reduced the commitment amount thereunder to zero, effectively terminating the facility.
