Hercules Capital Announces New Supplemental Cash Distribution of $0.32 per Share

The New Supplemental Cash Distribution is in Addition to the Regular Quarterly Cash Distributions and will be Distributed Equally over Four Quarters Beginning with the Fourth Quarter of 2023 Distribution Payable in March of 2024

The New Supplemental Cash Distribution of $0.08 per Share for the Fourth Quarter of 2023 is in Addition to the Regular Quarterly Cash Distribution of $0.40 per Share

Hercules Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HTGC) (“Hercules” or the “Company”), the largest and leading specialty financing provider to innovative venture, growth and established stage companies backed by some of the leading and top-tier venture capital and select private equity firms, is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a new supplemental cash distribution of $0.32 per share, to be distributed equally over four quarters beginning with an $0.08 per share distribution for the fourth quarter of 2023.

This $0.08 supplemental cash distribution will be paid out of Hercules’ undistributed taxable income (taxable income in excess of distributions paid) as of December 31, 2023. The following shows the key dates of the supplemental distribution payment:

Record Date

February 28, 2024

Payment Date

March 6, 2024

This $0.08 supplemental cash distribution is in addition to the previously announced regular quarterly cash distribution that Hercules declared for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $0.40 per share.

Hercules' Board of Directors maintains a variable distribution policy with the objective of distributing four quarterly distributions in an amount that approximates 90% to 100% of the Company’s taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year. In addition, during the year, the Company’s Board of Directors may choose to pay additional supplemental distributions, so that the Company may distribute approximately all its annual taxable income in the year it was earned, or it can elect to maintain the option to spill over the excess taxable income into the coming year for future distribution payments.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company's distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company's fiscal year based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of its distributions for a full year. Of the distributions declared during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, 100% were distributions derived from the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. There can be no certainty to stockholders that this determination is representative of the tax attributes of the Company’s 2024 full year distributions to stockholders.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 871(k), certain funds generate “Qualified Interest Income” (QII) that may be exempt for U.S. withholding tax on foreign accounts. A regulated investment company (“RIC”) is permitted to designate distributions of QII as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation.

The percentage of QII for distributions declared for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 on Hercules’ common stock is 81.44%.
