Business Context and Reporting Period

Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance and voting outcomes.
Material Changes and Voting Results
Stockholders voted on Proposal 1, which sought to approve a new investment advisory agreement with TICC Management, LLC, contingent upon a proposed change of control of the manager. The results were as follows:
- Votes For: 20,716,905
- Votes Against: 15,226,007
- Abstentions: 2,233,096
- Broker Non-Votes: 0
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Proposal 1 failed to receive the requisite approval. Consequently, the proposed change of control of TICC Management, LLC will not close.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Due to the failure of Proposal 1, the Company did not proceed with voting on Proposal 2 (approval of director nominees) or Proposal 3 (adjournment of the meeting), as these were conditional on the closing of the change of control. The Company issued a press release on December 22, 2015, detailing these results.
