<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">From a health and safety perspective, we have implemented corporate
policies in line with guidelines from the CDC and local authorities for our various office locations. We have indefinitely postponed
non-essential travel and implemented a policy of working remotely to reduce social contact. We recognize that the outbreak of COVID-19
is continually evolving and we will adjust our continuity plans to maintain an effective and efficient operational environment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have been actively engaged in assessing all our portfolio
companies and the impact that both COVID-19 and an economic downturn may have on their respective businesses. Our current primary
focus is portfolio credit strength and quality. In the near term, the efforts of our management, investment and portfolio teams
has been directed toward vigilantly supporting our existing portfolio companies while we continue to look to the future and evaluate
new investment opportunities. As of December 31, 2019, our investments were comprised of approximately $317.2 million in debt investments,
$60.8 million in equipment financing investments, and $41.3 million in equity and equity-related investments, including warrants,
across 78 portfolio companies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;Trinity will continue to selectively look at new opportunities
with the same stringent underwriting criteria we&rsquo;ve always applied, adding a new layer of scrutiny tied to the impact of
COVID-19 and the negative economic impacts currently playing out in the economy. Consistent with our investment objective, we will
continue to provide loans and equipment financings to growth stage companies who need a non-dilutive extension of runway. We seek
to compliment the equity these companies have raised to provide the necessary capital to achieve defined milestones and build their
valuations heading towards a fundraise or liquidity event. We are active and looking for new opportunities.&rdquo; said Kyle Brown,
President of Trinity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Trinity funded investments to six new portfolio companies and ten
existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $47.7 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We understand that in these times liquidity is key to financial
success. To that end, we believe we have positioned Trinity to have both cash on-hand as well as capital resources through our
credit facility for operations, support of our portfolio companies and continued strategic investing. The Company&rsquo;s $300.0
million credit facility matures on January 8, 2022 unless extended and, at March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $130.0
million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility with approximately $55.0 million of available capacity, subject to
certain borrowing requirements.&nbsp; The Company also has $125 million of unsecured debt which matures in January 2025. At March
31, 2020, the Company had approximately $63.4 million in unrestricted cash on its balance sheet. The combination of cash on hand
and available borrowing capacity under the credit facility provided approximately $118.4 million of liquidity at March 31, 2020.</P>

distribution will be determined upon completion of the Company&rsquo;s financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2020
and is subject to approval by the Board of Directors.</P>
