BlackRock Capital Investment Corporation (BKCC), a business development company, generates current income and capital appreciation for investors by providing flexible financing solutions to middle-market companies, including senior secured loans, junior secured loans, unsecured loans, subordinated debt securities and equity securities. The company targets investments across a broad range of industries such as finance, chemicals, healthcare, consumer goods and retail, with a portfolio emphasizing first-lien senior debt, second-lien debt and equity components that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns through positive cash flows and collateralized structures. Incorporated in 2005 and headquartered at 40 East 52nd Street in New York, New York, BKCC operates primarily in the United States and focuses on companies with annual revenues typically between $10 million and $1 billion. In September 2023, BKCC announced a merger with BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. (TCPC), under which BKCC merged into a subsidiary of TCPC following shareholder approval in March 2024, creating a larger combined entity with approximately $2.4 billion in assets, enhanced capital access, operating synergies and aligned direct lending portfolios managed by BlackRock's experienced team. This strategic consolidation positions the surviving TCPC platform for expanded middle-market lending opportunities amid favorable market conditions, with BKCC's standalone dividend history transitioning to TCPC's structure featuring a $0.25 quarterly base dividend plus potential specials. BKCC's investment advisor, BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC, supports long-term partnerships by structuring investments with terms of three to ten years, often incorporating floating or fixed high-yield rates and security interests in portfolio company assets.
