Trinity Capital Inc. Receives New Investment Grade Rating from Moody's

Moody's assigns to Trinity Capital an investment grade long-term issuer rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook

PHOENIX, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinity Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIN) ("Trinity Capital" or "the Company"), a leading alternative asset manager, is pleased to announce that Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") has assigned to the Company a new investment grade long-term issuer rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook.

Factors cited by Moody's in initiating its rating include Trinity Capital's investment expertise, growing performance record since inception, relatively low reliance on secured funding sources, and good capitalization and liquidity. Moody's also noted Trinity Capital's increased scale and business diversification in recent years, in part through the launch of new business verticals focused on life sciences, sponsor finance, and asset-based lending, which are complementary to its historical strengths in technology lending and equipment finance.

"We are extremely pleased that Moody's has initiated coverage of Trinity Capital with a Baa3 investment grade rating," said Michael Testa, Trinity Capital's Chief Financial Officer. "We believe this rating affirms the strength of the platform we're building and should allow us to obtain capital at more advantageous rates and from a larger pool of investors."
