BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation Declares Quarterly Distribution of $0.18 per Share, Announces March 31, 2017 Quarterly Financial Results
| • | GAAP net investment income of $0.20 per share providing distribution coverage of 111% |
| • | Net leverage and total liquidity relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter, at 0.56x and $253 million, respectively |
| • | No investments onnon-accrual status as of March 31, 2017, a decline from 5.4% of our debt investments at amortized cost and 0.7% at fair market value at December 31, 2016 |
| • | Increase of $0.01 in NAV per share on a quarter-over-quarter basis |
| • | Monetization of nearly $30 million ofnon-interest bearing legacy equity investments |
New York, May 3, 2017 – BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:BKCC) (“BCIC” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.18 per share, payable on July 3, 2017 to stockholders of record as of June 19, 2017.
“During the first quarter, we made important strides in achieving our objective of monetizingnon-interest earning legacy equity investments. As previously stated, our focus is to build a diversified portfolio that generates a more stable stream of net investment income. Our $0.18 distribution this quarter was adequately supported by net investment income and our modest leverage profile provides flexibility for patiently deploying capital to further portfolio growth,” commented Michael J. Zugay, CEO of BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation.
“Through our team’s diligent efforts over the past several months, ournon-accrual rate has declined to zero primarily due to the restructuring of various underperforming legacy investments. Although ultimate outcomes remain uncertain around these restructured investments, we have worked constructively with the various stakeholders in these companies to right size their respective balance sheets, in order to better position each of them for potential growth while helping us to maximize recoveries. We remain focused on prudent risk management and we continue to be highly selective of new investment opportunities.
“BCIC Senior Loan Partners (“Senior Loan Partners”), our joint venture with Windward Investments LLC, continued its steady pace of deployment into first lien senior secured loans. Through our investment in Senior Loan Partners, we believe that exposure to a diversified pool of first lien loans offers good risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders. As stated previously, we also continue to seek junior capital investment opportunities into companies with strong credit profiles.”

Business Updates
| • | Advanced Lighting Technologies, Inc. (“Advanced Lighting”) and Shoreline Energy LLC (“Shoreline”) were both removed fromnon-accrual status during the quarter, leaving no investments onnon-accrual status as of March 31, 2017. With respect to Advanced Lighting, an amendment was completed which resulted in a lower, more achievable cash pay rate for the borrower. Regarding Shoreline, all assets of value have been sold in a bankruptcy court approved sale process leaving remaining assets in a liquidating trust. As we do not anticipate any recovery from the liquidating trust, wewrote-off the investment during the quarter with no incremental net realized or unrealized loss as this investment was previously marked at zero. |
| • | As previously disclosed, a comprehensive restructuring of U.S. Well Services, LLC (“USWS”) was completed during the quarter which provided the borrower with liquidity and added financial flexibility through a PIK feature on the reinstated debt. Post restructuring, we hold (i) $7.2 million of revolving loan commitment at L + 600 ($4.5 million drawn as of March 31, 2017), (ii) $29.9 million of first lien term loan at L + 900 cash (or L + 1100 PIK at borrower’s option), and (iii) a portion of the restructured equity. Additionally, we have the right to appoint one member to USWS’s board of directors. |
| • | Bankruptcy Management Solutions, Inc. (“BMS”) was sold during the quarter at an enterprise value that resulted in a $0.5 million incremental gain above the prior quarter mark on the various securities previously held. We provided a $3.0 million funded revolver and a $52.0 million first lien term loan, initially priced at L + 550, to partially finance the transaction for the new private equity owner. |
| • | Senior Loan Partners made investments into four new portfolio companies during the quarter, bringing committed and outstanding amounts to $92.7 million and $89.2 million, respectively. The four new investments at par are (i) a $10.0 million first lien term loan B to Q Holding Company, a leading manufacturer oflow-cost, precision molded silicone rubber components used in a diverse array of end markets, (ii) a $10.0 million first lien term loan to ENC Holding Corporation, a leading asset-light logistics platform which provides business process outsourcing services, (iii) a $3.0 million and $5.0 million first lien term loanA-1 andA-2, respectively, to Alaska Communications Systems Holdings, Inc., a provider of internet connectivity, voice and managed IT services and (iv) a $6.4 million first lien term loan and a $0.3 million delayed draw term loan to MHE Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“MHE”), a leading provider of material handling equipment and facility services. Additionally, Senior Loan Partners had remaining unfunded commitments of approximately $1.9 million under the MHE delayed draw term loan. |

There were no share repurchases during the first quarter of 2017. The cumulative repurchases since BlackRock entered into the investment management agreement with the Company totaled approximately 2.8 million shares for $24.0 million, representing 66% of total share repurchase activity, on a dollar basis, since inception. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately 2.0 million additional shares authorized for repurchase. |
Recent Developments
| • | On April 17, 2017, we redeemed $17.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.60% senior secured notes due 2018 (“6.60% Notes”), using proceeds from our senior secured revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to this redemption, we have no more 6.60% Notes outstanding as of such date. |

| • | We invested $122.3 million during the quarter, while sales, repayments and other exits of investments totaled $114.4 million, resulting in $8.0 million of net capital deployed. Excluding the impact ofnon-cash transactions relating to the USWS restructuring and the Advanced Lighting amendment, commitments and exits were $71.6 million and $63.6 million, respectively. Approximately 77% of our deployments during the quarter were represented by our $55.0 million of debt provided to partially finance the BMS acquisition. Approximately 93% of proceeds from exits during the quarter were represented by three transactions: (i) $32.2 million of total proceeds on our debt and equity investments in BMS, (ii) a repayment at par of our $18.9 million investment in Accriva Diagnostics, Inc. and (iii) a repayment of our $7.8 million preferred equity interest in USI Senior Holdings, Inc. |
| • | As of March 31, 2017, ournon-accrual rate declined to zero at both fair market value and amortized cost as compared withnon-accruals at 0.7% of our total debt investments at fair market value, and 5.4% at amortized cost, as of the priorquarter-end. Our average internal investment rating at fair market value at March 31, 2017 was 1.31 as compared to 1.35 as of the priorquarter-end. |
| • | During the quarter, gross unrealized depreciation of $9.2 million was partially offset by $7.8 million of gross unrealized appreciation due to portfolio valuations. Further, there was $52.8 million of unrealized appreciation during the quarter due primarily to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized depreciation on Shoreline, USWS and Advanced Lighting. |
-3-
| • | Fee income earned on capital structuring, prepayments and administration during the current quarter totaled $0.6 million, as compared to $2.6 million earned during the preceding quarter, and $0.8 million earned during the prior year quarter. Excluding fee income, investment income decreased approximately 4% compared to the prior quarter, and 16% as compared to this quarter one year ago. |
First Quarter Financial Updates
| • | GAAP net investment income (“NII”) was $14.6 million, or $0.20 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Relative to distributions declared of $0.18 per share, our NII distribution coverage was 111% for the quarter. |
| • | As previously disclosed, our base management fee rate went down from an annual rate of 2.00% of total assets to 1.75% effective March 7, 2017. No incentive management fees based on income were earned and payable for thepro-rated period until March 6, 2017, as the distributable income amount was reduced below the hurdle by the net realized and unrealized losses in the portfolio for the trailing four quarter period. After March 6, 2017, $0.8 million of incentive management fees based on income were earned for the partial quarter, however, as previously disclosed, any such fees earned until December 31, 2018 have been waived. During the quarter, there was no accrual for incentive management fees based on gains due largely to the net unrealized depreciation in the portfolio as of March 31, 2017. A hypothetical liquidation is performed each quarter end resulting in an additional accrual if the amount is positive or a reversal to the existing accrual if the amount is negative. However, the resulting fee accrual is not due and payable until June 30, if at all. There is currently no balance accrued for incentive management fees based on gains as of the measurement period ending March 31, 2017. |
| • | As compared to full fiscal year 2016, our weighted average cost of debt increased 26 basis points to 4.63% during Q1 2017. This was primarily driven by higher Libor rates. |
| • | Tax characteristics of all 2016 distributions were reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our 2016 tax distributions of $0.73 per share were comprised of ordinary income. Our return of capital distributions since inception totaled $1.96 per share. At our discretion, we may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. We will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. There was no undistributed taxable income carried forward from 2016. For more information on our GAAP distributions, please refer to the Section 19 Notice that may be posted within the Distribution History section of our website. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
| • | At March 31, 2017, we had total liquidity of $253.5 million, consisting of $38.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $215.0 million of availability under our credit facility, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. |
| • | Net leverage, adjusted for available cash, receivables for investments sold, payables for investments purchased and unamortized debt issuance costs, stood at 0.56x atyear-end, and our 260% asset coverage ratio provided the Company with available debt capacity under its asset coverage requirements of $225.2 million. Further, as ofquarter-end, 87% of our portfolio was invested in qualifying assets, exceeding the 70% regulatory requirement of a business development company. |

Supplemental Information
The Company reports its financial results on a GAAP basis; however, management believes that evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additionalnon-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviewsnon-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of the Company’s financial performance over time. The Company’s management does not advocate that investors consider suchnon-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Until March 6, 2017, the Company records its liability for incentive management fees based on income as it becomes legally obligated to pay them, based on a hypothetical liquidation at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s obligation to pay incentive management fees with respect to any fiscal quarter until March 6, 2017 is based on a formula that reflects the Company’s results over a trailing four-fiscal quarter period ending with the currentpro-rated quarter until March 6, 2017. The Company is legally obligated to pay the amount resulting from the formula less any cash payments of incentive management fees during the prior three quarters. The formula’s requirement to reduce the incentive management fee by amounts paid with respect to such fees in the prior three quarters has caused the Company’s incentive management fee expense to become concentrated in the fourth quarter of each year. Management believes that reflecting incentive management fees throughout the year, as the related investment income is earned, is an effective measure of the Company’s profitability and financial performance that facilitates comparison of current results with historical results and with those of the Company’s peers. The Company’s “as adjusted” results reflect incentive management fees based on the formula the Company utilizes for each trailing four-fiscal quarter period until March 6, 2017, with the formula applied to the current quarter’s incremental earnings and without any reduction for incentive management fees paid during the prior three quarters. The resulting amount represents an upper limit of each quarter’s incremental incentive management fees that the Company may become legally obligated to pay at the end of the year. Prior year amounts are estimated in the same manner. These estimates represent upper limits because, in any calendar year, subsequent quarters’ investment underperformance could reduce the incentive management fees payable by the Company with respect to prior quarters’ operating results. Similarly, the Company records its liability for incentive management fees based on capital gains by performing a hypothetical liquidation at the end of each reporting period. The accrual of this hypothetical capital gains incentive management fee is required by GAAP, but it should be noted that a fee so calculated and accrued is not due and payable until the end of the measurement period, or every June 30. The incremental incentive management fees disclosed for a given period are not necessarily indicative of actual full year results. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. For a more detailed description of the Company’s incentive management fee, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
