* All information is as of September 30, 2024, unless otherwise noted. Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.
** The loss rate is calculated by CION based on operations since December 2012 (inception) as the aggregate investment cost at write-off, less (i) any economic benefit realized during the loan (interest and fees) and (ii) any economic recovery, divided by the total invested capital. This rate is presented on an annualized basis and, with rounding, is approximately zero percent since CION’s inception. Also, this rate is presented to demonstrate CION’s investment portfolio characteristics and does not reflect the investment performance experienced by a CION investor.

Leverage

Notice Pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) On December 30, 2021, CION Investment Corporation (the “Company”) held its special meeting of shareholders, at which the shareholders of the Company approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act, to the Company. Commencing on December 31, 2021, the Company is required to maintain asset coverage for its senior securities of 150% (i.e., $2 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity) rather than 200% (i.e., $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity), which would permit the Company to increase the maximum amount of leverage that it is permitted to incur.
