Dear Kevin:

     As a follow up to our conversation on June 30, 2010, please find below an explanation to the filing of Triangle Capital Corporation’s (the “Company”) Post-effective Amendment No. 6 to its Registration Statement on Form N-2, File No. 333-151930, filed via EDGAR as a POS 8C filing on June 9, 2010 (the “Registration Statement”).

     The Company filed the Registration Statement to update its financial information pursuant to Item 34(4) of Form N-2. Additionally, the Company revised the Registration Statement to update material since its last POS 8C filing on April 13, 2009. This material includes, among other items, the results of the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the formation and SBIC licensure of Triangle Mezzanine Fund II LP, and revised disclosure pursuant to recent rule amendments promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

     Please contact us at the information above for any questions or comments. We look forward to hearing from you.
