TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. announced supplemental distributions of $0.12 per share on August 5, 2026, payable in two tranches — September 30 and December 30, 2026. This is a special dividend on top of any regular distributions.
Shareholders on the relevant record dates receive the cash payout. Short sellers face the opposite: they must pay a "payment in lieu" — a fee equal to the dividend amount owed to the lender of their borrowed shares. With 5.9% of the free float currently sold short and roughly 2.4 million shares shorted, that liability is not trivial. Cost to borrow sits at 6.96% annually, and days to cover stands at nine — meaning short positions carry real carrying cost alongside the new dividend obligation.
