📣 The Announcement

Trinity Capital Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIN) is changing which stock exchange its shares call home. The company plans to move its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market to the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas.

👉 The ticker symbol stays the same, "TRIN," so shareholders do not need to do anything. Only the venue where the shares trade is changing, not the shares themselves.

🏢 Company Context

👉 In simple terms, Trinity Capital is a lender to fast-growing companies. It is an international alternative asset manager that provides private credit, meaning loans and debt financing arranged outside the traditional banking system.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Trinity structures deals across five lending areas: Sponsor Finance, Equipment Finance, Tech Lending, Asset Based Lending, and Healthcare & Life Sciences. Since it started in 2008, the firm has deployed more than $5.7 billion across over 470 investments (as of March 31, 2026), with a team spread across the United States and Europe.

📅 What A Listing Transfer Means

A stock exchange is simply the marketplace where a company's shares are bought and sold. Nasdaq and the NYSE are the two biggest in the U.S., and a company can choose to switch between them.

👉 This is not a merger, a sale, or a fundraising. It is a change of address for the stock. The business, management, and share count are unchanged, the trading floor is just different.

📊 By The Numbers And Dates

Here is the timeline and the symbols to know:

• 🗓️ Shares keep trading on Nasdaq under "TRIN" until the close on July 24, 2026.
• 🔔 Trading begins on the NYSE on or about July 27, 2026, still under "TRIN."
• 💵 Trinity's two Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2029, the 7.875% Notes due March 2029 and the 7.875% Notes due September 2029, are also moving. They trade today on Nasdaq as "TRINZ" and "TRINI."
• 🔄 Those notes get new symbols on the NYSE and NYSE Texas: "TRNZ" and "TRNI," expected to begin on or about July 27, 2026.

💥 Why It Matters

Management is framing this as a statement about prestige and visibility. CEO Kyle Brown called the move "a strategic move that highlights Trinity Capital's commitment to creating long-term shareholder value," pointing to the NYSE's "iconic place in the global landscape" and its "unparalleled presence in the financials community."

👉 The NYSE welcomed the move too, with Chris Taylor, Chief Development Officer of NYSE Group, praising Trinity's "leadership in alternative asset management and expertise across private credit markets." For investors, a listing switch can signal a company is trying to raise its profile among larger institutional buyers.

🔮 What's Next

The key day is July 27, 2026, when Trinity Capital expects to start life as a NYSE-listed company. Between the last Nasdaq session on July 24 and the NYSE debut, the changeover happens behind the scenes.

👉 Existing shareholders keep their shares exactly as they are. Holders of the 2029 notes should simply note the new ticker symbols so they can find them under the NYSE listing.

🧠 The Analogy

Think of it like a well-known restaurant moving from one prime street to an even busier, more famous avenue. The menu, the chef, and the recipes are all the same, only the address on the door changes, with the hope that the new location draws a bigger, more prestigious crowd.

🧩 Final Takeaway

Trinity Capital is switching its stock listing from Nasdaq to the NYSE around July 27, 2026, keeping the "TRIN" ticker while its 2029 notes shift from "TRINZ"/"TRINI" to "TRNZ"/"TRNI." It is a change of venue and profile, not a change to the underlying business.
