TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC NYSE: TPVG held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders virtually on April 29, with stockholders voting to reelect three Class III directors and to ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year.

Meeting opened; management and board in attendance

James P. Labe, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time pursuant to the company’s bylaws and prior written notice to stockholders.

Labe introduced members of management and the board who attended the meeting, including Sajal Srivastava, President and Chief Investment Officer; Mike Wilhelms, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer; and Steven Levinson, Chief Compliance Officer. Labe also noted the presence of the company’s independent directors: Gilbert E. Ahye, Steven P. Bird, Stephen A. Cassani, Cynthia M. Fornelli, Katherine J. Park, and Kimberly Vogel.

Scott Kaufer of Deloitte attended as the auditors’ representative. Labe said Kaufer “has indicated that Deloitte does not wish to make a statement,” but would be available to respond to appropriate questions submitted during the meeting.

Notice and meeting procedures

The meeting was conducted online, with stockholders able to submit questions through the virtual platform. Labe said questions should pertain to the proposals being considered and comply with the meeting’s rules of conduct, adding that questions unrelated to the proposals “will be addressed following the meeting at another time, if appropriate.”

Wilhelms reported that the proxy statement and related materials were mailed to stockholders of record on or about March 9, 2026. He said he had an affidavit of mailing from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. certifying distribution of the notice of availability of proxy materials or the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement, and proxy card. Wilhelms also said he had a copy of the company’s 2025 annual report, including financial statements certified by Deloitte, which had been sent or made available to each stockholder entitled to vote.

Quorum confirmed

Wilhelms reported that as of the March 9, 2026 record date, the company had 40,491,145 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The inspector of election indicated that 27,096,322 shares were present in person, by proxy, or by attorney, representing approximately 66.9% of shares entitled to vote. As a result, Wilhelms said a quorum was present and the meeting was properly convened.

Proposals and preliminary voting results

Stockholders voted on two proposals described in the company’s proxy statement:

• Election of three Class III directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders (or until successors are duly elected and qualified)
• Ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026

The company noted that no stockholder nominations or other proposals were properly filed in advance of the meeting under the company’s bylaws, limiting the meeting’s business to those two items.

Levinson, serving as inspector of election, provided preliminary tabulations after the polls closed. For the director elections, he reported the following vote totals:

• James P. Labe: 10,389,888 votes for; 2,693,523 votes withheld
• Cynthia M. Fornelli: 9,193,531 votes for; 3,889,880 votes withheld
• Katherine J. Park: 9,523,300 votes for; 3,560,111 votes withheld

Levinson said each nominee received “the affirmative vote of holders of a plurality of the votes cast” in the election of Class III directors.

For the auditor ratification proposal, Levinson reported:

• Deloitte & Touche LLP ratification: 24,214,560 votes for; 1,024,317 votes against; 1,857,445 votes abstained

He said Deloitte & Touche LLP received “the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of all the votes cast on this matter at this meeting.” Levinson noted the results were preliminary and that all votes cast during the virtual meeting would be included in the final tabulation, but added it was not anticipated that votes cast during the meeting would change the outcome.

Next steps and adjournment

Levinson said the company expected to report final voting results on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days of the meeting. The formal portion of the meeting was then adjourned.

After adjournment, the operator indicated there were no stockholder questions in the queue pertaining to the proposals. Labe thanked participants for attending and the meeting concluded.
