Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock as may be issued as a result of adjustment by reason of share dividend, share split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock.

Estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h) on the basis of the average of the high and low price for shares of the Registrant’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on June 1, 2017.
(3)
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, a filing fee is being paid only with respect to the registration of additional shares of common stock under the plan. Registration statements on Form S-8 have been filed previously on April 3, 2007 (File No. 333-141827) and on January 4, 2013 (File No. 333-185892) for the other shares of common stock issuable or issued under the plan.






REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, Triangle Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register 1,600,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), for issuance under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). Pursuant to General Instruction E, the contents of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 previously filed on April 3, 2007 (File No. 333-141827) and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 previously filed on January 4, 2013 (File No. 333-185892) are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, except as revised herein.

The Omnibus Plan amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and combined the Equity Incentive Plan with the Company’s 2012 Executive Cash Incentive Plan (the “Cash Incentive Plan”) in order to reduce the administrative burden of monitoring the terms and conditions of two separate plans. The terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and the Cash Incentive Plan, as combined and reflected in the Omnibus Plan, are substantially similar to the respective terms of each standalone plan.

Previously, an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock under the Omnibus Plan were registered on April 3, 2007 (File No. 333-141827) and on January 4, 2013 (File No. 333-185892). At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on May 3, 2017, the stockholders approved the Omnibus Plan, which increased the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which awards may be granted under the Omnibus Plan to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the previously approved 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The Omnibus Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, to make grants of restricted stock and other stock-based awards to the Company’s directors and certain of its employees.
