Trinity Capital Inc. Exits Its Equity Position in Core Scientific

 

Liquidation of shares results in a return of 17.7% on the initial investment

 

PHOENIX, (June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/) – Trinity Capital Inc.

The 5,640,373 shares received were sold at a weighted average price per share of $5.13, resulting in total proceeds of $29.0 million. After the sale of the common stock, the internal rate of return on the initial investment was 17.7%, including loan interest payments received.
