## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**TriLinc provides new capital to six small and medium-sized enterprises with part of the $50 million funding from BlueOrchard Impact Investment Managers and KfW DEG Investment Group**

**January 25, 2023 -** MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. – TriLinc Global Impact Fund, LLC ("TGIF") announced today that since receiving new funding in December from subsidiaries of BlueOrchard Impact Investment Managers ("BlueOrchard") and KfW DEG Investment Group ("KfW DEG"), new capital has been provided to six small and medium-sized enterprises in developing economies where access to capital is one of the biggest hurdles to growing, creating quality jobs and contributing to the further development of local healthcare, education and other community services. It is expected that the credit facility will be used by TGIF to provide additional capital to seven companies during Q1 2023. The December funding consisted of $25 million from Luxembourg-based BlueOrchard, who previously provided financing to other TriLinc Global-sponsored funds, and $25 million from the Cologne- based investment group KfW DEG. BlueOrchard previously provided capital to two funds sponsored by TriLinc Global, LLC ("TriLinc Global"), the sponsor of TGIF, for a combined total of $43 million. This new capital for TGIF will be dedicated to financing growth-stage, small and medium-sized enterprises ("SMEs") primarily in select developing economies. SMEs are significant contributors to the economies of developed countries and developing economies.

"These lending commitments from BlueOrchard and KfW DEG confirm our strategy of investing in developing economies and significantly helps support our mission to harness the power of capital markets in solving global challenges facing our society," commented Gloria Nelund, CEO and Founder of TriLinc Global. "By intentionally selecting investments with the potential for market-rate financial returns and positive measurement impact, TriLinc Global seeks to meet its goals to do well by doing good."

According to World Bank figures, SMEs as a group generate approximately 40% of national income in the developing world, but the global credit gap for these enterprises totals $5.2 trillion. KfW DEG and BlueOrchard have added $50 million to the funding TGIF can lend to SMEs in emerging markets.

With the new facility provided by KfW DEG and BlueOrchard, TGIF will be able to lend to more companies, extending its impact, which includes the ability to provide medium-term capital needed by SMEs to improve their operations, hire more people and expand their reach.

"We believe that socially responsible lending to small and medium-sized companies in emerging economies can strike a reasonable risk-return profile for investors. Our partnership with TriLinc Global supports our mutual goals of fostering smart and sustainable growth." said Rolland Siller, CEO of KfW DEG.

Normunds Mizis, Chief Credit Officer of BlueOrchard. said, "We believe by supporting TGIF, we can increase impact investing for a sustainable world. We are delighted to be partnering with the dedication and hard work of the TriLinc team in emerging markets."
