Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 8, 2016, TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (the “Company”) issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. A copy of the earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, on August 8, 2016, the Company made available on its website, www.tpvg.com, supplemental investor information with respect to the earnings release.
The information in this Current Report, including the Exhibit, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless it is specifically incorporated by reference therein.
In connection with a routine review of the Company’s compliance with New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and regulations, the NYSE informed the Company that its disclosure in proxy statements omitted certain required information relating to executive sessions of, and communications with, the Company’s Board of Directors. On a going forward basis, the Company’s proxy statements, as well as other filings with similar disclosure, will read as follows with respect to executive sessions of, and communications with, the Company’s Board of Directors:
The independent directors serving on the Company’s board of directors intend to meet in executive sessions at the conclusion of each regularly scheduled meeting of the board of directors, and additionally as needed, without the presence of any directors or other persons who are part of the Company’s management. These executive sessions of the Company’s board of directors will be presided over by one of the independent directors serving on the Company’s board of directors selected on an ad-hoc basis.
Stockholders and other interested parties with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company’s Investor Relations Department at 2755 Sand Hill Road, Suite 150, Menlo Park, California 94025 or by visiting the Company website at www.tpvg.com. However, if Stockholders or other interested parties believe that their questions have not been addressed, they may communicate with the Company’s Board, a committee of the Company’s Board, the Company’s independent directors as a group or the Company’s Board generally by sending their communications to Sajal K. Srivastava, Secretary, c/o TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp., 2755 Sand Hill Road, Suite 150, Menlo Park, California 94025 who will forward them to the intended recipient(s). Any such communications may be made anonymously. Unsolicited advertisements, invitations to conferences or promotional materials, in the discretion of the Secretary, are not required, however, to be forwarded to the directors.
