a.All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible U.S. portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, except for investments specifically identified as non-qualifying per note h. below. Unless specifically identified in note v.t. below, investments do not contain a paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision.

b.The 1, 3 and 6 month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, rates were ~~0.08%~~0.45%, ~~0.13%~~0.96% and ~~0.16%~~1.47%, respectively, as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The actual LIBOR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to ~~September 30, 2021.~~

d.Represents amortized cost for debt securities and cost for equity investments.

e.Denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

f.Fair value determined using level 1 inputs.

g.The CLO subordinated notes are considered equity positions in the CLO vehicles and are not rated. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying vehicle's securities less contractual payments to debt holders and expenses.

Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

h.The investment or a portion thereof is not a qualifying asset under the 1940 Act. A business development company may not acquire any asset other than qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets as defined under Section 55 of the 1940 Act.

k.In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company may be entitled to receive additional residual amounts.

l.k.Short term investments represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less.

o.n.Investment or a portion thereof held within the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, Murray Hill Funding II, LLC, or Murray Hill Funding II, and was pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under the repurchase agreement with UBS AG, or UBS, as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 (see Note 8).

p.o.Non-income producing security.

q.p.The ultimate interest earned on this loan will be determined based on the portfolio company’s EBITDA at a specified ~~triggering~~trigger event.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Principal Business

CĪON Investment Corporation, or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011. On December 17, 2012, the Company successfully raised gross proceeds from unaffiliated outside investors of at least $2,500, or the minimum offering requirement, and commenced operations. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the 1940 Act. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. The Company’s portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt, and equity, of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies.

The Company is managed by CION Investment Management, LLC, or CIM, a registered investment adviser and an affiliate of the Company. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Company, CIM oversees the management of the Company’s activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for the Company’s investment portfolio. On November 13, 2020, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2020. On April 5, 2021, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twenty four months, which was subsequently approved by shareholders on August 9, 2021 (as described in further detail below). The Company and CIM previously engaged Apollo Investment Management, L.P., or AIM, a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc., or, together with its subsidiaries, Apollo, a leading global alternative investment manager, to act as the Company’s investment sub-adviser.

On July 11, 2017, the members of CIM entered into a third amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CIM, or the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, for the purpose of creating a joint venture between AIM and CION Investment Group, LLC, or CIG, an affiliate of the Company. Under the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM became a member of CIM and was issued a newly-created class of membership interests in CIM pursuant to which AIM, among other things, shares in the profits, losses, distributions and expenses of CIM with the other members in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, which results in CIG and AIM each owning a 50% economic interest in CIM.

On July 10, 2017, the Company’s independent directors unanimously approved the termination of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, effective as of July 11, 2017. Although the investment sub-advisory agreement and AIM's engagement as the Company’s investment sub-adviser were terminated, ~~AIM's investment professionals continue~~AIM continues to perform certain services for CIM and the ~~Company, including, without limitation, assistance with identifying investment opportunities for approval by CIM's investment committee.~~Company. AIM is not paid a separate fee in exchange for such services, but is entitled to receive distributions as a member of CIM as described above.

On December 4, 2017, the members of CIM entered into a fourth amended and restated limited liability company agreement of CIM, or the Fourth Amended CIM LLC ~~Agreement. Under the Fourth Amended CIM LLC~~ Agreement, ~~AIM's investment professionals perform~~under which AIM performs certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, ~~(i) assistance with identifying and providing information about potential investment opportunities for approval by CIM’s investment committee; and (ii)~~ providing (a) trade and settlement support; (b) portfolio and cash reconciliation; (c) market pipeline information regarding syndicated deals, in each case, as reasonably requested by CIM; and (d) monthly valuation reports and support for all broker-quoted investments. AIM may also, from time to time, provide the Company with access to potential investment opportunities made available on Apollo's credit platform on a similar basis as other third-party market participants. All of the Company's investment decisions are the sole responsibility of, and are made at the sole discretion of, CIM's investment committee, which consists entirely of CIG senior personnel.

The amended and restated investment advisory agreement was approved by shareholders on August 9, 2021 at the Company’s reconvened 2021 annual meeting of shareholders. As a result, on August 10, 2021, the Company and CIM entered into the amended and restated investment advisory agreement in order to implement the change to the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee payable from the Company to CIM that expresses the hurdle rate required for CIM to earn, and be paid, the incentive fee as a percentage of the Company’s net assets rather than adjusted capital.

On October 5, 2021, the Company's shares of common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the ticker symbol "CION", or the Listing. As a result, on October 5, 2021, the Company and CIM entered into the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement in order to implement the changes to the advisory fees payable from the Company to CIM that became effective upon the Listing that (i) reduced the annual base management fee, (ii) amended the structure of the subordinated incentive fee on income payable by the Company to CIM and reduced the hurdle and incentive fee rates, and (iii) reduced the incentive fee on capital gains payable by the Company to CIM (as described in further detail in Notes 2 and 4). Also, a complete description of the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement is set forth in Proposal No. 3 in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed on May 13, 2021.

The Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment on September 21, 2021 (as described in further detail in Note 3).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 are derived from the ~~2020~~2021 audited consolidated financial statements and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not consolidate its ~~interest~~equity interests in CION SOF Funding, LLC, or CION ~~SOF.~~SOF, or CION/EagleTree Partners, LLC, or CION/EagleTree. See Note 7 for a description of the Company’s ~~investment~~investments in CION ~~SOF.~~SOF and CION/EagleTree.

The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU 2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, or ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed insured limits. The Company periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of this institution and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

Foreign Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rate on the date of valuation. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.

Offering Costs

Offering costs included, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s registration statements in connection with the continuous public offerings of the Company’s shares. Certain initial offering costs that were funded by CIG on behalf of the Company were submitted by CIG for reimbursement upon meeting the minimum offering requirement on December 17, 2012. These costs were capitalized and amortized over a twelve month period as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value. All other offering costs were expensed as incurred by the Company. The Company's follow-on continuous public offering ended on January 25, 2019.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the Company’s “investment company taxable income”, which is generally equal to the sum of the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. If the Company continues to qualify as a RIC and continues to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, the Company will not be subject to corporate level federal income taxes on any income that the Company distributes to its shareholders. The Company intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain RIC status each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if the Company does not distribute at least 98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Two of the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, View ITC, LLC and View Rise, LLC, or collectively the Taxable Subsidiaries, have elected to be treated as taxable entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of its ownership of certain portfolio investments. The income tax expense or benefit, if any, and the related tax assets and liabilities, where material, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There were no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Book/tax differences relating to permanent differences are reclassified among the Company’s capital accounts, as appropriate. Additionally, the tax character of distributions is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP (see Note 5).

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions during the periods presented herein.

The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, New York State, New York City and Maryland income tax jurisdictions for 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

During the first half of 2020, there was a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which spread to over 100 countries, including the United States, and spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading, and limiting operations of non-essential businesses. Although countries, including the United States, have ~~slowly started to loosen~~loosened these restrictions, such actions created and will continue to create disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacted many industries. ~~In addition, certain European countries instituted another lockdown during the fourth quarter of 2020 as a second wave of the outbreak occurred.~~ The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of ~~September 30, 2021;~~March 31, 2022; however, uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19, including from new variants, such as Delta and Omicron. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The fair value of the Company’s investments is determined quarterly in good faith by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to its consistently applied valuation procedures and valuation process in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,, or ASC 820. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Company’s board of directors has designated CIM as the Company’s “valuation designee.” The Company’s board of directors and the audit committee of the board of directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors, oversees the activities, methodology and processes of the valuation designee. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Inputs used to measure these fair values are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

Level 2 -Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3 -Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The inputs used in the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes that include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by the disclaimer would result in classification as a Level 3 asset, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy for each fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the value that would be received upon an actual sale of such investments. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that the Company ultimately realizes on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned.

A portion of the Company’s investments consist of debt securities that are traded on a private over-the-counter market for institutional investments. CIM attempts to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers for each investment (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). CIM typically uses the average midpoint of the broker bid/ask price to determine fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. Because of the private nature of this marketplace (meaning actual transactions are not publicly reported) and the non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes, the Company believes that these valuation inputs result in Level 3 classification within the fair value hierarchy. As these quotes are only indicative of fair value, CIM benchmarks the implied fair value yield and leverage against what has been observed in the market. If the implied fair value yield and leverage fall within the range of CIM's market pricing matrix, the quotes are deemed to be reliable and used to determine the investment's fair value.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable judgment of CIM, the price of any investment held by the Company and determined in the manner described above does not accurately reflect the fair value of such investment, CIM will value such investment at a price that reflects such investment’s fair value and report such change in the valuation to the board of directors or its designee as soon as practicable. Investments that carry certain restrictions on sale will typically be valued at a discount from the public market value of the investment.

Any investments that are not publicly traded or for which a market price is not otherwise readily available are valued at a price that reflects its fair value. With respect to such investments, if CIM is unable to obtain market quotations, the investments are reviewed and valued using one or more of the following types of analyses:

i.Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity, minority ownership and other factors for companies with similar characteristics.

ii.Valuations implied by third-party investments in the applicable portfolio companies.

iii.A benchmarking analysis to compare implied fair value and leverage to comparable market investments.

iv.Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, these notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of factors that ~~the Company’s board of directors~~CIM may consider when valuing the Company’s equity and debt investments where a market price is not readily available:

•the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses;

•prevailing interest rates for like securities;

•expected volatility in future interest rates;

•leverage;

•call features, put features, fees and other relevant terms of the debt;

•the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt;

•the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt;

•the quality of collateral securing the Company’s debt investments;

•multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or, in some cases, book value or liquidation value; and

•other factors deemed applicable.

All of these factors may be subject to adjustment based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or the Company’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners, or acquisition, recapitalization, and restructuring expenses or other related or non-recurring items. The choice of analyses and the weight assigned to such factors may vary across investments and may change within an investment if events occur that warrant such a change.

~~The~~When CIM uses the discounted cash flow model to value the Company's investments, such model deemed appropriate by CIM is prepared for the applicable investments and reviewed by designated members of CIM’s management team. Such models are prepared at least quarterly or on an as needed basis. The model uses the estimated cash flow projections for the underlying investments and an appropriate discount rate is determined based on the latest financial information available for the borrower, prevailing market trends, comparable analysis and other inputs. The model, key assumptions, inputs, and results are reviewed by designated members of CIM’s management team with final approval from the board of directors.

Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The Company periodically benchmarks the broker quotes from the brokers or dealers against the actual prices at which the Company purchases and sells its investments. Based on the results of the benchmark analysis and the experience of the Company’s management in purchasing and selling these investments, the Company believes that these quotes are reliable indicators of fair value. The Company may also use other methods to determine fair value for securities for which it cannot obtain market quotations through brokers or dealers, including the use of an independent valuation firm. Designated members of CIM’s management team and the Company's board of directors review and approve the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.

Revenue Recognition

Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date or the ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. For investments in equity tranches of collateralized loan obligations, the Company records income based on the effective interest rate determined using the amortized cost and estimated cash flows, which is updated periodically. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts, or OID, and market discounts/premiums are recorded and such amounts are amortized as adjustments to interest income over the respective term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, prepayment premiums, any unamortized loan origination fees, OID, or market discounts/premiums are recorded as interest income.

The Company may have investments in its investment portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. PIK interest is accrued as interest income if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment dates, the Company will capitalize the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK as additional principal due from the borrower. Additional PIK securities typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original securities. In order to maintain RIC status, substantially all of this income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of distributions, even if the Company has not collected any cash. For additional information on investments that contain a PIK interest provision, see the consolidated schedules of investments as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Loans and debt securities, including those that are individually identified as being impaired under Accounting Standards Codification 310, Receivables, or ASC 310, are generally placed on non-accrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan or security is placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest income is recognized on non-accrual loans or debt securities only to the extent received in cash. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of principal, cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are thereafter applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan or debt security. Loans or securities are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

The Company may receive fees for capital structuring services that are fixed based on contractual terms, are normally paid at the closing of the investment, are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that CIM provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan as interest income.

Other income includes amendment fees that are fixed based on contractual terms and are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the transaction. Other income also includes fees for managerial assistance and other consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, and other services rendered by the Company to its portfolio companies. Such fees are fixed based on contractual terms and are recognized as fee income when earned.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the weighted-average method. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the weighted-average amortized cost of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement the Company entered into with CIM, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of the Company’s investment portfolio during operations is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Prior to October 5, 2021 and under the investment advisory agreement, such fee equaled 20% of the Company’s incentive fee capital gains (i.e., the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Pursuant to the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains was reduced to 17.5%, which became effective on October 5, 2021.

On a cumulative basis and to the extent that all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation exceed realized capital gains as well as the aggregate realized net capital gains for which a fee has previously been paid, the Company would not be required to pay CIM a capital gains incentive fee. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

While the investment advisory agreement with CIM neither includes nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues capital gains incentive fees on unrealized gains. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to CIM if the Company’s entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though CIM is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets per Share

Net increase (decrease) in net assets per share is calculated based upon the daily weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.

Distributions

Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount paid as a distribution is declared by the Company's co-chief executive officers and ratified by the board of directors on a quarterly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

In August 2020, the Company obtained approval from its shareholders authorizing the Company to issue shares of its common stock at prices below the then current NAV per share of the Company’s common stock in one or more offerings for a 12-month period. The Company did not issue any such shares through August 2021 (the 12-month anniversary of such shareholder approval). On August 9, 2021, the Company's shareholders ~~again~~ approved a proposal that authorizes the Company to issue shares of its common stock at prices below the then current NAV per share of the Company’s common stock in one or more offerings for a 12-month period following such shareholder approval. The Company has not issued any such shares as of the date of these notes to consolidated financial statements.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

In connection with the Listing of its shares of common stock on the NYSE, on September 15, 2021, the Company terminated its previous fifth amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan, or the Old DRP. The final distribution reinvestment under the Old DRP was made as part of the regular monthly ~~cash~~ distribution paid on September 14, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2021.

Pre-Listing Share Repurchase Program

Historically, the Company offered to repurchase shares on a quarterly basis on such terms as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its complete and absolute discretion unless, in the judgment of the independent directors of the Company’s board of directors, such repurchases would not have been in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders or would have violated applicable law.

On March 19, 2020, the Company's board of directors, including the independent directors, temporarily suspended the Company's share repurchase program commencing with the second quarter of 2020 and included the third quarter of 2020. On November 13, 2020, the Company recommenced its share repurchase program for the fourth quarter of 2020.

On July 30, 2021, the Company's board of directors, including the independent directors, determined to suspend the Company's share repurchase program commencing with the third quarter of 2021 in anticipation of the Listing and the concurrent enhanced liquidity the Listing was expected to provide. The share repurchase program ultimately terminated upon the Listing and the Company does not expect to implement a new quarterly share repurchase program in the future.

Historically, the Company generally limited the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares it could have repurchased with the proceeds it received from the issuance of shares pursuant to the Old DRP. At the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, it could have also used cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company offered to repurchase such shares at a price equal to the estimated net asset value per share on each date of repurchase.

Any periodic repurchase offers were subject in part to the Company’s available cash and compliance with the BDC and RIC qualification and diversification rules promulgated under the 1940 Act and the Code, respectively.

Post-Listing Share Repurchase Policy

On September 15, 2021, the Company’s board of directors, including the independent directors, approved a share repurchase policy authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock after the Listing. Under the share repurchase policy, the Company may purchase shares of its common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company's discretion. Factors are expected to include, but are not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with the Company’s general business conditions. The policy may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock.

As part of the share repurchase policy, the Company intends to enter into a trading plan in the near future adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based in part on historical trading data with respect to the Company’s shares. The 10b5-1 trading plan would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan will be administered by an independent broker and will be subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions.

Since the Company has not yet entered into a 10b5-1 trading plan, during the period from September 15, 2021 to ~~November 11, 2021,~~May 5, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock pursuant to the share repurchase policy.

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with CIM. On November 13, 2020, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2020. On April 5, 2021, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twenty four months, which was subsequently approved by shareholders on August 9, 2021. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, CIM was paid an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, less cash and cash equivalents, and an incentive fee based on the Company’s performance, as described below. Pursuant to the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement, which was effective upon the Listing on October 5, 2021, the annual base management fee was reduced to 1.5% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets (including cash pledged as collateral for the Company’s secured financing arrangements, but excluding other cash and cash equivalents so that investors do not pay the base management fee on such assets), to the extent that the Company’s asset coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 200% (i.e., $1 of debt outstanding for each $1 of equity); provided that, the annual base management fee will be reduced further to 1.0% for any such gross assets purchased with leverage resulting in the Company’s asset coverage ratio dropping below 200%. ~~Under~~At the ~~1940 Act,~~Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 30, 2021, shareholders approved a proposal to reduce the ~~Company is not currently permitted to incur indebtedness that would cause its~~Company’s asset coverage ratio to ~~drop below~~150%. As a result, 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%. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the two most recently completed calendar quarters.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter and was subject to a hurdle rate, measured quarterly and expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, as defined in the investment advisory agreement, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.5%. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Company paid to CIM 100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income once the hurdle rate was exceeded until the annualized rate of 9.375% was exceeded, at which point the Company paid to CIM 20% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income that exceeded the annualized rate of 9.375%. Under the amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the change to the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee payable to CIM that expresses the hurdle rate required for CIM to earn, and be paid, the incentive fee as a percentage of the Company's net assets rather than adjusted capital was implemented. Under the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the hurdle rate was reduced to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 6.5%, and the Company pays to CIM 100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income once the hurdle rate is exceeded until the annualized rate of 7.879% is exceeded, at which point the Company pays to CIM 17.5% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income. These changes to the subordinated incentive fee on income were effective upon the Listing, except for the change to the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee payable to CIM that replaced adjusted capital with the Company's net assets, which was effective on August 10, 2021. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ the Company recorded subordinated incentive fees on income of ~~$2,933~~$4,133 and $0, respectively. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the liabilities recorded for subordinated incentive fees were ~~$2,933~~$4,133 and ~~$4,323,~~$3,942, respectively. The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the capital gains incentive fee, is described in Note 2.

The Company accrues the capital gains incentive fee based on net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation; however, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the fee payable to CIM is based on net realized gains and unrealized depreciation and no such fee is payable with respect to unrealized appreciation unless and until such appreciation is actually realized. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ and the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had no liability for and did not record any capital gains incentive fees.

On April 1, 2018, the Company entered into an administration agreement with CIM pursuant to which CIM furnishes the Company with administrative services including accounting, investor relations and other administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. CIM is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that such reimbursement is for the lower of CIM’s actual costs or the amount that the Company would have been required to pay for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location. Such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. The Company does not reimburse CIM for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a person with a controlling interest in CIM. On November 11, 2021, the board of directors of the Company, including a majority of the board of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the administration agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2021.

AIA is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf in performing its obligations, provided that such reimbursement is reasonable, and costs and expenses incurred are documented. The servicing agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by either party, upon 60 days' written notice to the other party.

On January 30, 2013, the Company entered into the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with CIG, whereby CIG agreed to provide expense support to the Company in an amount that iswas sufficient to: (1) ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to shareholders ~~will be~~was paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings, and/or (2) reduce the Company’s operating expenses until it ~~has~~ achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that ~~it bears~~the Company bore a reasonable level of expense in relation to its investment income. On December 16, 2015, the Company further amended and restated the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement for purposes of including AIM as a party to the agreement. On January 2, 2018, the Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with CIM for purposes of, among other things, replacing CIG and AIM with CIM as the expense support provider pursuant to the terms of the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. On December 9, 2020, the Company and CIM further amended the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to extend the termination date of such agreement from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021.

Pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company ~~will have~~had a conditional obligation to reimburse CIM for any amounts funded by CIM under such agreement (i) if expense support amounts funded by CIM ~~exceed~~exceeded operating expenses incurred during any fiscal quarter, (ii) if the sum of the Company’s net investment income for tax purposes, net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax purposes) ~~exceeds~~exceeded the distributions paid by the Company to shareholders, and (iii) during any fiscal quarter ~~occurring~~that occurred within three years of the date on which CIM funded such amount. The obligation to reimburse CIM for any expense support provided by CIM under such agreement iswas further conditioned by the following: (i) in the period in which reimbursement iswas sought, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, when considering the reimbursement, ~~cannot exceed~~could not have exceeded the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, as defined, for the period when the expense support was provided; (ii) in the period when reimbursement iswas sought, the annualized distribution rate ~~cannot fall~~could not have fallen below the annualized distribution rate for the period when the expense support was provided; and (iii) the expense support ~~can~~could have only bebeen reimbursed within three years from the date the expense support was provided.

On December 31, 2021, the Company and CIM allowed the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to expire in accordance with its terms. There was no unreimbursed expense support funded by CIM upon such expiration. The specific amount of expense support provided by CIM, if any, was determined at the end of each quarter.

The Company or CIM may terminate the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement at any time.

In the event that CIM undertakes to provide investment advisory services to other clients in the future, it will strive to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies so that the Company will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the investment adviser or its senior management team. However, it is currently possible that some investment opportunities will be provided to other clients of CIM rather than to the Company.

I~~ndemnifications~~Indemnifications

The investment advisory agreement, the administration agreement and the dealer manager agreement ~~with CIM and CION Securities, LLC (formerly, ICON Securities, LLC), or CION Securities,~~ each provide certain indemnifications from the Company to the other relevant parties to such agreements. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown. However, the Company has not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these agreements and believes the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.

In connection with the Listing of its shares of common stock on the NYSE, on September 15, 2021, the Company terminated the Old DRP. The final distribution reinvestment under the Old DRP was made as part of the regular monthly ~~cash~~ distribution paid on September 14, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2021. On September 15, 2021, the Company adopted the New DRP, which became effective as of the Listing and ~~will~~ first ~~apply~~applied to the reinvestment of ~~cash~~ distributions paid on ~~or after October 5,~~December 8, 2021.

Under the Old DRP and prior to the Listing, ~~cash~~ distributions to participating shareholders who “opted in” to the Old DRP were reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price equal to the estimated net asset value per share of common stock as of the date of issuance.

Upon the Listing, all shareholders were automatically enrolled in the New DRP and will receive distributions as declared by the Company in additional shares of its common stock unless such shareholder affirmatively elects to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying (i) such shareholder’s financial adviser; or (ii) if such shareholder has a registered account maintained at the Company’s transfer agent, the plan administrator. With respect to ~~cash~~ distributions to participating shareholders under the New DRP, the Company reserves the right to either issue new shares or cause the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market in connection with implementation of the New DRP. Unless the Company, in its sole discretion, otherwise directs DST Asset Management Solutions, Inc., the plan administrator, (A) if the per share “market price” (as defined in the New DRP) is equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share on the payment date for the distribution, then the Company will issue shares at the greater of (i) the estimated net asset value or (ii) 95% of the market price, or (B) if the market price is less than the estimated net asset value, then, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) shares will be purchased in open market transactions for the accounts of participating shareholders to the extent practicable, or (ii) the Company will issue shares at the estimated net asset value. Pursuant to the terms of the New DRP, the number of shares to be issued to a participating shareholder will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participating shareholder by the price per share at which the Company issues such shares; provided, however, that shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a participating shareholder based on the weighted average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares purchased in the open market with respect to such distribution. No other material terms of the Old DRP were amended in connection with the New DRP.

If a shareholder receives distributions in the form of common stock pursuant to the New DRP, such shareholder generally will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they elected to receive distributions in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading at or below net asset value, a shareholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of cash that such shareholder would have received if they had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If the Company’s common stock is trading above net asset value, a shareholder receiving distributions in the form of additional common stock will be treated as receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The shareholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of common stock received in a distribution will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the shareholder. Any stock received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares of common stock are credited to the shareholder’s account.

The Company may fund its ~~cash~~ distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to the Company, including borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, and dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from CIM, which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as a return of capital. Shareholders should understand that any distributions funded by expense support from CIM are not based on the Company’s investment performance, and anycompanies. Any such distributions can only be sustained if the Company maintains positive investment performance in future periods and/or CIM provides such expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive.periods. There can be no assurances that the Company will maintain such performance in order to sustain these distributions or be able to pay distributions at all. On December 31, 2021, the Company and CIM allowed the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement to expire in accordance with its terms. As a result, CIM has no obligation to provide expense support to the Company in future periods. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 ~~and 2020~~ and the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, none of the Company's distributions resulted from expense support from CIM. The Company has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions.

It is the Company's policy to comply with all requirements of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income”, which is generally equal to the sum of the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, the Company intends not to be subject to corporate level federal income tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if the Company does not distribute at least 98.0% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gains, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years for which it paid no federal income taxes.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Code and federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. These book/tax differences, which could be material, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investments held by the Company. Permanent book/tax differences result in reclassifications to capital in excess of par value, accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed realized gain on investments.

The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’s distributions is made annually as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year based upon the Company’s taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. The tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders are reported to shareholders annually on Form 1099-DIV. All distributions for ~~2020~~2021 were characterized as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The tax components of accumulated earnings for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the components of accumulated losses on a tax basis were as follows:


	December 31, ~~2020~~2021
Undistributed ordinary income	$	~~5,950~~7,156
Other accumulated losses	~~(1,793)~~(59,977)

Net unrealized depreciation on investments	~~(161,664)~~(76,059)
Total accumulated losses	$	~~(157,507)~~(128,880)

CION SOF

Funding, LLC

CION SOF was organized on May 21, 2019 as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on October 2, 2019 when the Company and BCP Special Opportunities Fund I, LP, or BCP, entered into the limited liability company agreement of CION SOF for purposes of establishing the manner in which the parties would invest in and co-manage CION SOF. CION SOF invested primarily in senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. The Company and BCP contributed a portfolio of loans to CION SOF representing membership equity of $31,289 and $4,470, respectively, in exchange for 87.5% and 12.5% of the membership interests of CION SOF, respectively.

In December 2020, the Company and BCP elected to wind-down the operations of CION SOF. On January 28, 2021, CION SOF sold all of its remaining debt and equity investments to the Company. On March 18, 2021, CION SOF declared final ~~cash~~ distributions and on March 19, 2021, distributed all remaining capital to the Company and BCP.

The Company and BCP were not required to make any additional capital contributions to CION SOF. The Company’s equity investment in CION SOF was not redeemable. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding CION SOF required approval of its board of managers, which was comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by the Company and the other two were selected by BCP. Further, all portfolio and other material decisions required the affirmative vote of at least one board member from the Company and one board member from BCP.

The Company also served as administrative agent to CION SOF to provide loan servicing functions and other administrative services. In certain cases, these loan servicing functions and other administrative services were performed by CIM.

On October 2, 2019, CION SOF entered into a senior secured credit facility, ~~with MS,~~ or the SOF Credit Facility, with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., or MS, for borrowings of up to a maximum amount of $75,000. Advances under the SOF Credit Facility were available through October 2, 2022 and bore interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of (i) 3.0% per year through October 1, 2022 and (i) 3.5% per year thereafter through October 2, 2024. CION SOF's obligations to MS under the SOF Credit Facility were secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of CION SOF. The obligations of CION SOF under the SOF Credit Facility were non-recourse to the Company. On October 2, 2019, CION SOF drew down $64,702 of borrowings under the SOF Credit Facility. On December 14, 2020, CION SOF repaid to MS all amounts outstanding under the SOF Credit Facility.

~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the~~The Company ~~recorded~~did not record any dividend income from its equity interest in CION SOF of ~~$3,518~~.

for the year ended December 31, 2021 or the three months ended March 31, 2022.

In accordance with ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, the Company determined that CION SOF was a ~~variable interest entity, or~~ VIE. However, the Company was not the primary beneficiary and therefore did not consolidate CION SOF. The Company's maximum exposure to losses from CION SOF was limited to its equity contribution to CION SOF.

The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year payable semi-annually on February 11th and August 11th of each year, which commenced on August 11, 2021. The Company has the right to, at its option, redeem all or a part that is not less than 10% of the 2026 Notes (i) on or before February 11, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2026 Notes to be redeemed plus an applicable “make-whole” amount equal to (x) the discounted value of the remaining scheduled payments with respect to the principal of such 2026 Note that is to be prepaid or becomes due and payable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement over (y) the amount of such called principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, (ii) after February 11, 2024 but on or before February 11, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, (iii) after February 11, 2025 but on or before August 11, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and (iv) after August 11, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. For any redemptions occurring on or before February 11, 2024, the discounted value portion of the “make whole amount” is calculated by applying a discount rate on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the 2026 Notes is payable equal to the sum of 0.50% plus the yield to maturity of the most recently issued U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the remaining average life of the 2026 Notes, or if there are no such U.S. Treasury securities, using such implied yield to maturity determined in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Murray Hill Funding, in turn, entered into a repurchase transaction with UBS, pursuant to the terms of a Global Master Repurchase Agreement and the related Annex and Master Confirmation thereto, each dated May 19, 2017, or collectively, the UBS Facility. Pursuant to the UBS Facility, on May 19, 2017 and June 19, 2017, UBS purchased Notes held by Murray Hill Funding for an aggregate purchase price equal to 65% of the principal amount of Notes purchased. Subject to certain conditions, the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased under the UBS Facility was $192,308. Accordingly, the aggregate maximum amount payable to Murray Hill Funding under the UBS Facility would not exceed $125,000. Murray Hill Funding was required to repurchase the Notes sold to UBS under the UBS Facility by no later than May 19, 2020. The repurchase price paid by Murray Hill Funding to UBS will be equal to the purchase price paid by UBS for the repurchased Notes (giving effect to any reductions resulting from voluntary partial prepayment(s)). The financing fee under the UBS Facility was equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of up to 3.50% per year for the relevant period.

On December 1, 2017, Murray Hill Funding II amended and restated the Indenture, or the Amended Indenture, pursuant to which the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued by Murray Hill Funding II was increased from $192,308 to $266,667. On December 1, 2017, Murray Hill Funding entered into a First Amended and Restated Master Confirmation to the Global Master Repurchase Agreement, or the Amended Master Confirmation, which sets forth the terms of the repurchase transaction between Murray Hill Funding and UBS under the UBS Facility. As part of the Amended Master Confirmation, on December 15, 2017 and April 2, 2018, UBS purchased the increased aggregate principal amount of Notes held by Murray Hill Funding for an aggregate purchase price equal to 75% of the principal amount of Notes issued. As a result of the Amended Master Confirmation, the aggregate maximum amount payable to Murray Hill Funding and made available to the Company under the UBS Facility was increased from $125,000 to $200,000. No other material terms of the UBS Facility were revised in connection with the amended UBS Facility, or the Amended UBS Facility.

On May 19, 2020, Murray Hill Funding entered into a Second Amended and Restated Master Confirmation to the Global Master Repurchase Agreement, or the Second Amended Master Confirmation, which extended the date that Murray Hill Funding will be required to repurchase the Notes sold to UBS under the Amended UBS Facility from May 19, 2020 to November 19, 2020, and increased the spread on the financing fee from 3.50% to 3.90% per year.

As of December 31, 2020, Notes remained outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $133,333, which was purchased by Murray Hill Funding from Murray Hill Funding II and subsequently sold to UBS under the Amended UBS Facility for aggregate proceeds of $100,000.

The Class A-R Notes will be issued pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated December 17, 2020, between Murray Hill Funding II and U.S. Bank, as trustee, or the Second Amended Indenture. Under the Second Amended Indenture, the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Class A-R Notes that may be issued by Murray Hill Funding II from time to time is $150,000.

The financing fee for the funded Class A-R Notes is equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.375% per year while the financing fee for the unfunded Class A-R Notes is equal to 0.75% per year.

Pursuant to the Amended UBS Facility, on July 1, 2021 and December 14, 2021, UBS purchased Class A-R Notes held by Murray Hill Funding for an aggregate purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Class A-R Notes purchased, which was ~~$21,000.~~$21,000 and $25,000, respectively.

The repurchase of the A-R Notes on August 20, 2021 resulted in a repayment of $21,000 of the outstanding amount of borrowings under the Amended UBS Facility.

UBS may require Murray Hill Funding to post cash collateral if, without limitation, the sum of the market value of the portfolio of assets and the cash and eligible investments held by Murray Hill Funding II, together with any posted cash collateral, is less than the required margin amount under the Amended UBS Facility; provided, however, that Murray Hill Funding will not be required to post cash collateral with UBS until such market value has declined at least 10% from the initial market value of the portfolio assets.

The Company has no contractual obligation to post any such cash collateral or to make any payments to UBS on behalf of Murray Hill Funding. The Company may, but is not obligated to, increase its investment in Murray Hill Funding for the purpose of funding any cash collateral or payment obligations for which Murray Hill Funding becomes obligated in connection with the Amended UBS Facility. The Company’s exposure under the Amended UBS Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in Murray Hill Funding.

Pursuant to the Amended UBS Facility, Murray Hill Funding ~~has~~ made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with a borrowing base requirement, various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. The Amended UBS Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions, including, without limitation: (a) failure to transfer the Notes to UBS on the applicable purchase date or repurchase the Notes from UBS on the applicable repurchase date; (b) failure to pay certain fees and make-whole amounts when due; (c) failure to post cash collateral as required; (d) the occurrence of insolvency events with respect to Murray Hill Funding; and (e) the admission by Murray Hill Funding of its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations under the Amended UBS Facility.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all upfront fees and other expenses were fully amortized.

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Notes in the aggregate principal amount of ~~$100,000~~$125,000 had been purchased by Murray Hill Funding from Murray Hill Funding II and subsequently sold to UBS under the Amended UBS Facility for aggregate proceeds of ~~$100,000.~~$125,000.

After the deduction of fees and other financing expenses, the Company received net borrowings of approximately $29,000, which the Company used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Advances under the More Term Loan mature on September 30, 2024, and bear interest at a rate of 5.20% per year payable quarterly in arrears.

The discounted present value portion of the prepayment fee is calculated by applying a discount rate on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on advances is payable equal to the sum of 2.00% plus the yield to maturity of the most recently issued U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the remaining average life of the More Term Loan, or if there are no such U.S. Treasury securities, using such implied yield to maturity determined in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement.

Advances under the More Term Loan are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company, rank effectively junior to the Company's secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by certain of the Company's subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

In addition, the Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross default under other indebtedness or derivative securities of the Company in an outstanding aggregate principal amount of at least $25,000, certain judgments and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy.

~~MS Credit Facility~~

On December 19, 2017, 33rd Street entered into a senior secured credit facility, or the MS Credit Facility, with MS. The MS Credit Facility provided for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000, subject to compliance with a borrowing base.

On July 9, 2018, 33rd Street amended and restated the MS Credit Facility to make certain immaterial administrative amendments. 33rd Street further amended and restated the MS Credit Facility, or the Amended MS Credit Facility, with MS on December 18, 2018. Pursuant to the Amended MS Credit Facility, 33rd Street could have prepaid advances pursuant to the terms and conditions of the loan and servicing agreement subject to a 1% premium if the amount of the Amended MS Credit Facility was reduced or terminated on or prior to December 19, 2020.

Pursuant to the terms of the loan and servicing agreement, on March 15, 2019, 33rd Street reduced the aggregate principal amount available for borrowings under the Amended MS Credit Facility from $200,000 to $150,000.

As of December 31, 2019, the principal amount outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility was $112,500. On May 15, 2020, 33rd Street repaid all amounts outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility using a portion of the proceeds from the Second Amended JPM Credit Facility.

Advances under the Amended MS Credit Facility were available through December 19, 2020 and bore interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 3.0% per year through December 19, 2020. All advances under the Amended MS Credit Facility and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder were due and payable by no later than December 19, 2022. 33rd Street incurred certain customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining and amending the MS Credit Facility.

33rd Street's obligations to MS under the Amended MS Credit Facility were secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of 33rd Street. The obligations of 33rd Street under the Amended MS Credit Facility were non-recourse to the Company, and the Company's exposure under the Amended MS Credit Facility was limited to the value of the Company's investment in 33rd Street. 33rd Street appointed CIM to manage its portfolio.

33rd Street paid an upfront fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses totaling $2,591 in connection with obtaining and amending the MS Credit Facility, which the Company initially recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended MS Credit Facility. On June 5, 2018, unamortized upfront fees were recorded as a direct reduction to the outstanding balance of the Amended MS Credit Facility in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. All unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed upon the repayment of all amounts outstanding on the Amended MS Credit Facility on May 15, 2020.

(1)Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.

(2)Fair value is based on the expected outcome of proposed corporate transactions and/or other factors.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s senior secured first lien debt, senior secured second lien debt, collateralized securities and structured products, unsecured debt and equity are discount rates, EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, broker quotes and expected volatility. A significant increase or decrease in discount rates would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. A significant increase or decrease in the EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples, expected proceeds from proposed corporate transactions, broker quotes and expected volatility would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

(1)Unless otherwise noted, the funding criteria for these unfunded commitments had not been met at the date indicated.

Unfunded commitments to provide funds to companies are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. The Company intends to use cash on hand, short-term investments, proceeds from borrowings, and other liquid assets to fund these commitments should the need arise. For information on the companies to which the Company is committed to fund additional amounts as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, refer to the table above and the consolidated schedules of investments. As of ~~November 11, 2021,~~May 5, 2022, the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an adadditi~~ditional $110,475.~~onal $105,147.

The Company will fund its unfunded commitments from the same sources it uses to fund its investment commitments that are funded at the time they are made (i.e., advances from its financing arrangements and/or cash flows from operations). The Company will not fund its unfunded commitments from future net proceeds generated by securities offerings, if any. The Company follows a process to manage its liquidity and ensure that it has available capital to fund its unfunded commitments. Specifically, the Company prepares detailed analyses of the level of its unfunded commitments relative to its then available liquidity on a daily basis. These analyses are reviewed and discussed on a weekly basis by the ~~Company’s~~Company's executive officers and senior members of CIM (including members of the investment committee) and are updated on a “real time” basis in order to ensure that the Company has adequate liquidity to satisfy its unfunded commitments.

(2)The amount shown for net realized (loss) gain and net change in unrealized ~~gains (losses)~~(depreciation) appreciation on investments is the balancing figure derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio. As a result, net increase ~~(decrease)~~ in net assets resulting from operations in this schedule may vary from the consolidated statements of operations.

(3)The continuous issuance of shares of common stock may have caused an incremental increase in net asset value per share due to the sale of shares at the then prevailing public offering price and the receipt of net proceeds per share by the Company in excess of net asset value per share on each subscription closing date. The per share impact of the continuous issuance of shares of common stock was an increase to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 ~~and 2020~~ and the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

(4)Repurchases of common stock may ~~cause~~have caused an incremental decrease in net asset value per share due to the repurchase of shares at a price in excess of net asset value per share on each repurchase date. The per share impact of repurchases of common stock was a decrease to net asset value of less than $0.01 per share during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 ~~and 2020~~ and the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

(5)Shares of common stock outstanding has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split discussed in Note 3.

(6)Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held the Company’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of ~~monthly~~ distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that ~~monthly cash~~ distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company's distribution reinvestment plan then in effect as described in Note 5. The total investment return-net asset value does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of the Company’s common stock. The total investment return-net asset value includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. Total returns covering less than a full year are not annualized.

~~(6)~~(7)~~Ratio is~~Total investment return-market value for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was calculated by taking the change in the market price of the Company's common stock since the Company’s Listing on October 5, 2021, and including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company’s New DRP. Total investment return-market value does not ~~annualized.~~consider the effect of any sales commissions or charges that may be incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The historical calculation of total investment return-market value in the table should not be considered a representation of the Company’s future total return based on market value, which may be greater or less than the return shown in the table due to a number of factors, including the Company’s ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet its investment criteria, the interest rates payable on the debt securities the Company acquires, the level of the Company’s expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets, general economic conditions and fluctuations in per share market value. As a result of these factors, results for any previous period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

~~(7)~~(8)Ratio of gross operating expenses to average net assets does not include expense support provided by CIM, if any.

~~(8)~~(9)Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value, excluding short term investments, and is not annualized.

~~(9)~~(10)Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) the sum of (a) net assets at the end of the period and (b) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period (excluding unfunded commitments), divided by (ii) total senior securities outstanding at the end of the period.

Note 14. Subsequent Event

2022 More Term Loan

On April 27, 2022, the Company entered into an Unsecured Term Loan Facility Agreement, or the More Term Loan Agreement, with More Provident Funds and Pension Ltd., or More Provident, as lender, which provided for an unsecured term loan to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000, or the 2022 More Term Loan. On April 27, 2022, the Company drew down $50,000 of borrowings under the 2022 More Term Loan. After the deduction of fees and other financing expenses, the Company received net borrowings of approximately $49,000, which it used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR, plus a credit spread of 3.50% per year and subject to a 1.0% SOFR floor, payable quarterly in arrears. Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan mature on April 27, 2027. The Company has the right to, at its option, prepay all or any portion of advances then outstanding together with a prepayment fee equal to the higher of (i) zero, or (ii) the discounted present value of all remaining interest payments that would have been paid by the Company through the maturity date with respect to the principal amount of such advance that is to be prepaid or becomes due and payable pursuant to the More Term Loan Agreement. The discounted present value portion of the prepayment fee is calculated by applying a discount rate on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on advances is payable equal to the three-month SOFR plus 2.00%.

Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company, rank effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

The More Term Loan Agreement contains other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as (i) information reporting, (ii) maintenance of the Company’s status as a BDC within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) minimum shareholders’ equity of 60% of the Company’s net asset value as of the year ended December 31, 2021 plus 50% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of certain equity interests by the Company after April 27, 2022, if any, (iv) a minimum asset coverage ratio of not less than 150%, and (v) an unencumbered asset coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, provided that (a) first lien senior secured loans and cash represent more than 65% of the total value of unencumbered assets used by the Company for purposes of the ratio and (b) equity interests or structured products in the aggregate represent less than 15% of the total value of unencumbered assets used by the Company for purposes of the ratio. In addition, the More Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness or derivative securities of the Company in an outstanding aggregate principal amount of at least $25,000, certain judgments and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on August 9, 2011 and commenced operations on December 17, 2012 upon raising proceeds of $2,500 from persons not affiliated with us, CIM or ~~Apollo.~~its affiliates. We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC, as defined under Subchapter M of the Code.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation for investors. Our portfolio is comprised primarily of investments in senior secured debt, including first lien loans, second lien loans and unitranche loans, and, to a lesser extent, collateralized securities, structured products and other similar securities, unsecured debt, and equity, of private and ~~thinly traded~~thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies. In connection with our debt investments, we may receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. We may also purchase equity interests in the form of common or preferred stock in our target companies, either in conjunction with one of our debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor.

On October 5, 2021, shares of our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CION”. The Listing accomplished our goal of providing our shareholders with greatly enhanced liquidity.

We are managed by CIM, our affiliate and a registered investment adviser. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with us, CIM oversees the management of our activities and is responsible for making investment decisions for our portfolio. On November 13, 2020, our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twelve months commencing December 17, 2020. On April 5, 2021, our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons, approved the amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of twenty four months, which was subsequently approved by shareholders on August 9, 2021 (as described in further detail below). We and CIM previously engaged AIM to act as our investment sub-adviser.

On July 11, 2017, the members of CIM entered into the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement for the purpose of creating a joint venture between AIM and ~~CIG, our affiliate.~~CIG. Under the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, AIM became a member of CIM and was issued a newly-created class of membership interests in CIM pursuant to which AIM, among other things, shares in the profits, losses, distributions and expenses of CIM with the other members in accordance with the terms of the Third Amended CIM LLC Agreement, which results in CIG and AIM each owning a 50% economic interest in CIM.

On July 10, 2017, our independent directors unanimously approved the termination of the investment sub-advisory agreement with AIM, effective as of July 11, 2017, as part of the new and ongoing relationship among us, CIM and AIM. Although the investment sub-advisory agreement and AIM's engagement as our investment sub-adviser were terminated, ~~AIM's investment professionals continue~~AIM continues to perform certain services for CIM and ~~us, including, without limitation, assistance with identifying investment opportunities for approval by CIM's investment committee.~~us. AIM is not paid a separate fee in exchange for such services, but is entitled to receive distributions as a member of CIM as described above.

On December 4, 2017, the members of CIM entered into the Fourth Amended CIM LLC ~~Agreement. Under the Fourth Amended CIM LLC~~ Agreement ~~AIM's investment professionals perform~~under which AIM performs certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, ~~(i) assistance with identifying and providing information about potential investment opportunities for approval by CIM’s investment committee; and (ii)~~ providing (a) trade and settlement support; (b) portfolio and cash reconciliation; (c) market pipeline information regarding syndicated deals, in each case, as reasonably requested by CIM; and (d) monthly valuation reports and support for all broker-quoted investments. AIM may also, from time to time, provide us with access to potential investment opportunities made available on Apollo's credit platform on a similar basis as other third-party market participants. All of our investment decisions are the sole responsibility of, and are made at the sole discretion of, CIM's investment committee, which consists entirely of CIG ~~senior~~ personnel.

The amended and restated investment advisory agreement was approved by shareholders on August 9, 2021 at our reconvened 2021 annual meeting of shareholders. As a result, on August 10, 2021, we and CIM entered into the amended and restated investment advisory agreement in order to implement the change to the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee payable from us to CIM that expresses the hurdle rate required for CIM to earn, and be paid, the incentive fee as a percentage of our net assets rather than adjusted capital.

Upon the occurrence of the Listing on October 5, 2021, we and CIM entered into the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement in order to implement the changes to the advisory fees payable from us to CIM that (i) reduced the annual base management fee, (ii) amended the structure of the subordinated incentive fee on income payable from us to CIM and reduced the hurdle and incentive fee rates, and (iii) reduced the incentive fee on capital gains payable from us to CIM (as described in further detail in Notes 2 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report). Also, a complete description of the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement is set forth in Proposal No. 3 in our definitive proxy statement filed on May 13, 2021.

On September 21, 2021, we effected a 2two to 1one reverse split of our shares of common stock under which every two shares of our common stock issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one share of our common stock, with the number of issued and outstanding shares reduced from 113,916,869 to 56,958,440. The Reverse Stock Split Amendment also provided that there was no change in the par value of $0.001 per share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not modify the rights or preferences of our common stock.

We seek to meet our investment objective by utilizing the experienced management team of CIM, which includes its access to the relationships and human capital of its affiliates in sourcing, evaluating and structuring transactions, as well as monitoring and servicing our investments. We focus primarily on the senior secured debt of private and thinly-traded U.S. middle-market companies, which we define as companies that generally possess annual EBITDA of $75 million or less, with experienced management teams, significant free cash flow, strong competitive positions and potential for growth.

Revenue

We primarily generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we hold and capital gains on debt or other equity interests that we acquire in portfolio companies. The majority of our senior debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or monthly. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued, but unpaid, interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and capital structuring fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees and performance-based fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments will be recognized when earned.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses are the payment of ~~advisory~~management fees and subordinated incentive fees on income under the investment advisory agreement and interest expense on our financing arrangements. Our investment advisory fees compensate CIM for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, executing, monitoring and servicing our investments. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions.

Recent Developments

First Amendment to the Third Amended JPM Credit Facility

On March 28, 2022, 34th Street entered into the JPM First Amendment. Under the JPM First Amendment, the aggregate principal amount available for borrowings was increased from $575,000 to $675,000, subject to conditions described in the JPM First Amendment. Additional advances of up to $100,000 under the JPM First Amendment bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR, plus a credit spread of 3.10% per year, and a LIBOR to SOFR credit spread adjustment of 0.15%. 34th Street incurred certain customary costs and expenses in connection with the JPM First Amendment. No other material terms of the Third Amended JPM Credit Facility were revised in connection with the JPM First Amendment.

2022 More Term Loan

On April 27, 2022, we entered into the More Term Loan Agreement with More Provident, which provided for an unsecured term loan to us in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000. On April 27, 2022, we drew down $50,000 of borrowings under the 2022 More Term Loan. After the deduction of fees and other financing expenses, we received net borrowings of approximately $49,000, which we used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR, plus a credit spread of 3.50% per year and subject to a 1.0% SOFR floor, payable quarterly in arrears. Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan mature on April 27, 2027. We have the right to, at our option, prepay all or any portion of advances then outstanding together with a prepayment fee equal to the higher of (i) zero, or (ii) the discounted present value of all remaining interest payments that would have been paid by us through the maturity date with respect to the principal amount of such advance that is to be prepaid or becomes due and payable pursuant to the More Term Loan Agreement. The discounted present value portion of the prepayment fee is calculated by applying a discount rate on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on advances is payable equal to the three-month SOFR plus 2.00%.

Advances under the 2022 More Term Loan are our general unsecured obligations that rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us, rank effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by certain of our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

The More Term Loan Agreement contains other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as (i) information reporting, (ii) maintenance of our status as a BDC within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) minimum shareholders’ equity of 60% of our net asset value as of the year ended December 31, 2021 plus 50% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of certain equity interests by us after April 27, 2022, if any, (iv) a minimum asset coverage ratio of not less than 150%, and (v) an unencumbered asset coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, provided that (a) first lien senior secured loans and cash represent more than 65% of the total value of unencumbered assets used by us for purposes of the ratio and (b) equity interests or structured products in the aggregate represent less than 15% of the total value of unencumbered assets used by us for purposes of the ratio. In addition, the More Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under our other indebtedness or derivative securities in an outstanding aggregate principal amount of at least $25,000, certain judgments and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy.

COVID-19

The rapid spread of COVID-19, and associated impacts on the U.S. and global economies and the financial and credit markets, initially had negatively impacted, and may again negatively impact, our business operations and the business operations of some of our portfolio companies. We cannot at this time fully predict the impact of COVID-19, including new variants, such as Delta and Omicron, on our business or the business of our portfolio companies, its duration or magnitude or the extent to which it will negatively impact our portfolio companies’ operating results or our own results of operations or financial condition, including, without limitation, our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders. We expect that certain of our portfolio companies will continue to experience economic distress for the foreseeable future and may significantly limit business operations if subjected to prolonged economic distress. These developments could result in a decrease in the value of certain of our investments.

COVID-19 initially had adverse effects on our investment income and may again have adverse effects in the future. These adverse effects may require us to restructure certain of our investments, which could result in ~~further~~ reductions to our investment income or in impairments on our investments. In addition, disruptions in the capital markets have resulted in illiquidity in certain market areas. These market disruptions and illiquidity initially had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. ~~Unfavorable economic conditions caused by COVID-19 can also be expected to increase our funding costs and limit our access to the capital markets.~~ These events initially limited our investment originations, which may occur again in the future, and may also have a material negative impact on our operating results.

We will continue to carefully monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the business of our portfolio companies. Because the full effects of COVID-19 are not capable of being known at this time, we cannot estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including its effects on us with respect to our compliance with covenants in our financing arrangements with lenders. ~~We do, however, expect that it will continue to have a negative impact on our business and the financial condition of certain of our portfolio companies.~~

Our investment portfolio may contain senior secured investments that are in the form of lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, revolving credit facilities, or unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our unfunded commitments amounted to ~~$96,846~~$95,995 and ~~$43,130,~~$107,247, respectively. As of ~~November 11, 2021,~~May 5, 2022, our unfunded commitments ~~amounted~~amounted to ~~$110,475.~~$105,147. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, unfunded commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for us.

Investment Portfolio Asset Quality

CIM uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor our expected level of returns on each investment in our portfolio. These ratings are just one of several factors that CIM uses to monitor our portfolio, are not in and of themselves determinative of fair value or revenue recognition and are presented for indicative purposes. CIM rates the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors.

6664

The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating used in this ratings system:


Investment Rating						Description
1						Indicates the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit.
2						Indicates a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing in accordance with our analysis of its business and the full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected.
3						Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased since origination or acquisition, but full return of principal and interest or dividend is expected. A portfolio company with an investment rating of 3 requires closer monitoring.
4						Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased significantly since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and noncompliance with debt covenants, and we expect some loss of interest, dividend or capital appreciation, but still expect an overall positive internal rate of return on the investment.
5						Indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the cost of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. Loss of interest or dividend and some loss of principal investment is expected, which would result in an overall negative internal rate of return on the investment.

For investments rated 3, 4, or 5, CIM enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

The following table summarizes the composition of our investment portfolio based on the 1 to 5 investment rating scale at fair value as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, excluding short term investments of ~~$115,834~~$15,763 and ~~$73,597,~~$87,917, respectively:

The amount of the investment portfolio in each rating category may vary substantially from period to period resulting primarily from changes in the composition of such portfolio as a result of new investment, repayment and exit activities. In addition, changes in the rating of investments may be made to reflect our expectation of performance and changes in investment values.

Investment Income

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ we generated investment income of ~~$42,620~~$41,683 and ~~$38,887,~~$36,303, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt, ~~and~~ collateralized securities and structured products, and unsecured debt of ~~128~~112 and ~~118~~107 portfolio companies held during each respective period. ~~The increase in~~Our average investment ~~income was primarily the result of additional dividends received upon the exit of an equity investment during~~portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, increased $187,917, from $1,514,911 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 ~~as compared~~ to $1,702,828 for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2022.

Operating Expenses and Income Taxes

The composition of our operating expenses and income taxes for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was as follows:

Total operating expenses and income taxes						Total operating expenses and income taxes	$	22,200	$	18,704

The increase in subordinated incentive fee on income was primarily the result of entering into the (i) amended and restated investment advisory agreement in August 2021, which ~~replaced adjusted capital with our net assets as~~changed the ~~denominator~~calculation of the subordinated incentive fee ~~calculation.~~to express the hurdle rate required for CIM to earn, and be paid, the incentive fee as a percentage of our net assets rather than adjusted capital, and (ii) the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement in October 2021, which reduced the hurdle rate applicable to the subordinated incentive fee. The decrease in management fees was also primarily due to entering into the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement in October 2021, which reduced the annual rate from 2.0% to 1.5%. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of higher average borrowings ~~on our financing arrangements~~ during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021 as~~March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020, which also resulted in an increase in total assets and therefore an increase in management fees during the three months ended September 30,~~March 31, 2021.

The composition of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was as follows:


		Three Months Ended September 30,					Three Months Ended March 31,

Total general and administrative expense	Total general and administrative expense	$	2,709	$	1,503	Total general and administrative expense	$	2,222	$	2,678

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of higher nonrecurring professional fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021 associated with the Listing.

Net Investment Income After Taxes

Our net investment income after taxes totaled ~~$19,612~~$19,483 and ~~$21,420~~$17,599 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in ~~net~~our investment income after taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was partially offset by an increase in our operating expenses during the same period, which was driven primarily ~~due to~~by an increase in the subordinated incentive fee on ~~income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.~~income.

Net Realized ~~Gain (Loss)~~Loss on Investments and Foreign Currency

Our net realized ~~gain (loss)~~loss on investments and foreign currency totaled ~~$19,736~~$(69) and ~~($42,511)~~$(4,128) for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively.

Net Change in Unrealized (Depreciation) Appreciation on Investments

The net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on our investments totaled ~~($14,240)~~$(11,525) and ~~$52,178~~$36,243 for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. This change was driven primarily by widening credit spreads and decreased multiples in equity markets as well as the underperformance of certain ~~previously unrealized gains being realized and the continued recovery of loan prices~~portfolio companies during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that negatively impacted the fair value of certain of our investments, as compared to ~~certain previously unrealized losses being realized~~tightening credit spreads and increased multiples in equity markets during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020 and~~March 31, 2021 that positively impacted the ~~continued recovery~~fair value of ~~loan prices.~~certain of our investments.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of ~~$25,108~~$7,889 and ~~$31,087,~~$49,714, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

~~Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020~~

~~Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:~~

Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
Investment income $ 116,944 $ 120,443
Net operating expenses and income taxes 61,047 63,446
Net investment income 55,897 56,997
Net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency 16,049 (57,693)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments 30,845 (57,542)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations $ 102,791 $ (58,238)

~~Investment Income~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated investment income of $116,944 and $120,443, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt and collateralized securities and structured products of ~~135~~ and 134 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, decreased $63,095, from $1,626,213 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $1,563,119 for the nine months ~~ended September 30, 2021.~~

~~Operating Expenses~~

~~The composition of our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:~~

Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
Management fees $ 24,469 $ 24,160
Administrative services expense 2,103 1,793
Subordinated incentive fee on income 2,933 3,308
General and administrative 7,950 4,684
Interest expense 23,551 29,476
Total operating expenses $ 61,006 $ 63,421

The decrease in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily the result of all remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Second Amended Citibank Credit Facility and the Amended MS Credit Facility being expensed upon the repayment of all amounts outstanding on these facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was also the result of a decrease in LIBOR during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and lower average borrowings on our financing arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

~~The composition of our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:~~

Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2021 2020
Professional fees $ 3,833 $ 1,108
Transfer agent expense 991 894
Valuation expense 712 802
Printing and marketing expense 634 359
Accounting and administrative costs 606 507
Insurance expense 404 354
Director fees and expenses 365 334
Dues and subscriptions 316 273
Other expenses 89 53
Total general and administrative expense $ 7,950 $ 4,684

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of higher professional fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 associated with the Listing and higher printing and marketing expense incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 associated with shareholder proxy solicitation costs.

~~Net Investment Income After Taxes~~

Our net investment income after taxes totaled $55,897 and $56,997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in our net investment income after taxes was primarily due to a decrease in investment income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

~~Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments and Foreign Currency~~

Our net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency totaled $16,049 and ($57,693) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This change was driven primarily by realized gains recognized on the exit of our investment in Conisus Holdings, Inc.during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to realized losses on the restructure of certain investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

~~Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments~~

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments totaled $30,845 and ($57,542) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This change was driven primarily by tightening credit spreads and increased multiples in equity markets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that positively impacted the fair value of certain of our investments, as compared to the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 around the world during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the U.S. and global economies as well as in the financial and credit markets and negatively impacted the fair value of certain of our investments.

~~Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations of $102,791 and ($58,238), respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

~~Net Asset Value per Share, Annual Investment Return and Total Return Since Inception~~

Our net asset value per share was $16.52 and $15.50 on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). After considering (i) the overall changes in net asset value per share, (ii) paid distributions of approximately $0.7944 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and (iii) the assumed reinvestment of those distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, the total investment return-net asset value was 11.98% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. Total investment return-net asset value does not represent and may be higher than an actual return to shareholders because it excludes all sales commissions and dealer manager fees. Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held our common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period, and is described further in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $18.00 per share (public offering price excluding sales load and adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) have seen an annualized return of 7.01% and a cumulative total return of 81.40% through September 30, 2021 (see chart below). Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $20.00 per share (the initial public offering price including sales load and adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) have seen an annualized return of 5.73% and a cumulative total return of 63.26% through September 30, 2021. Over the same time period, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, a primary measure of senior debt covering the U.S. leveraged loan market, which currently consists of approximately 1,000 credit facilities throughout numerous industries, recorded an annualized return of 4.26% and a cumulative total return of 44.30%. In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index, a primary measure of short-term US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the US domestic market, recorded an annualized return of 5.86% and a cumulative total return of 65.03% over the same period.

~~(1) Cumulative performance: December 17, 2012 to September 30, 2021~~

The calculations for the Growth of $10,000 Initial Investment are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our common stock at the beginning of the period, at a share price of $20.00 per share (including sales load and adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) and $18.00 per share (excluding sales load and adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), (ii) assumes reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, (iii) the sale of the entire investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, and (iv) the distributions declared and payable to shareholders, if any, on the last day of the period.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from cash flows from interest, fees and dividends earned from our investments as well as principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. We also employ leverage to seek to enhance our returns as market conditions permit and at the discretion of ~~CIM.~~CIM and pursuant to the 1940 Act. On March 23, 2018, an amendment to Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act was signed into law to permit BDCs to reduce the minimum “asset coverage” ratio from 200% to 150% and, as a result, to potentially increase the ratio of a BDC’s debt to equity from a maximum of 1-to-1 to a maximum of 2-to-1, so long as certain approval and disclosure requirements are satisfied. ~~We are seeking the approval~~At our Special Meeting of ~~our~~Shareholders on December 30, 2021, shareholders approved a proposal to reduce our ~~minimum “asset coverage”~~asset coverage ratio ~~from~~to 150%. As a result, commencing on December 31, 2021, we are required to maintain asset coverage for our 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 allows us to ~~150% in accordance with~~increase the ~~1940 Act.~~

~~The outbreak and spread~~maximum amount of ~~COVID-19 have caused severe stress and uncertainty in the U.S. and global economies as well as in the financial and credit markets. Given the uncertainty as~~leverage that we are permitted to the full severity and duration of the pandemic and its effects on us with respect to our compliance with covenants in our loan facilities with lenders and our borrowers’ ability to timely meet their financial obligations to us, management and our board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of our company and all of our shareholders to take certain steps disclosed below during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that were necessary to improve our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in the short term. This “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Recent Developments - COVID-19” above.

On March 19, 2020, our co-chief executive officers determined to (i) change the timing of declaring distributions to shareholders from quarterly to monthly; and (ii) temporarily suspend the payment of distributions to shareholders commencing with the month ended April 30, 2020, whether in cash or pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, as amended and restated. On July 15, 2020, our board of directors determined to recommence the payment of distributions to shareholders in August 2020.incur.

On July 30, 2021, our board of directors, including the independent directors, determined to suspend our pre-Listing share repurchase program commencing with the third quarter of 2021 in anticipation of the ~~potential~~ Listing. The pre-Listing share repurchase program terminated upon the Listing on October 5, 2021.

On August 9, 2021, our shareholders approved a proposal that authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock at prices below the then current NAV per share of our common stock in one or more offerings for a 12-month period following such shareholder approval. As of the date of this report, we have not issued any shares at prices below our NAV per share pursuant to this authorization.

On September 15, 2021, our co-chief executive officers changed the timing of declaring and paying regular distributions to shareholders from monthly to quarterly commencing with the fourth quarter of 2021. On ~~September 15, 2021,~~March 8, 2022, our co-chief executive officers declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.1324 per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 and declared a special cash distribution expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.10 per share for the year ending December 31, 2021. As adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the regular cash distribution of $0.1324 per share will be paid at a per share distribution amount of $0.2648 and the special cash distribution expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.10 per share will be paid at a per share distribution amount expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.20. The regular quarterly cash distribution will be paid on December 8, 2021 to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2021. The special cash distribution will be paid on December 23, 2021 to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2021. On November 12, 2021, our co-chief executive officers declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.28 per share for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 payable on ~~March 30,~~June 8, 2022 to shareholders of record as of ~~March 23,~~June 1, 2022. We intend to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain RIC status each year and to avoid any federal income taxes on income. Therefore, subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of our board of directors, we intend to authorize, declare, and pay regular ~~cash~~ distributions on a quarterly basis. Regular and special distributions in respect of future periods will be evaluated by management and our board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration. For an additional discussion of our RIC status and distributions, refer to Note 2 and Note 5, respectively, of our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

On September 15, 2021, our board of directors, including the independent directors, approved a share repurchase policy authorizing us to repurchase up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock after the Listing. Under the share repurchase policy, we may purchase shares of our common stock through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at our discretion. Factors are expected to include, but are not limited to, share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with our general business conditions. The policy may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares of our common stock.

As part of the share repurchase policy, we intend to enter into a trading plan in the near future adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based in part on historical trading data with respect to our shares. The 10b5-1 trading plan would permit common stock to be repurchased at a time that we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan will be administered by an independent broker and will be subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions. Since we have not yet entered into a 10b5-1 trading plan, during the period from September 15, 2021 to ~~November 11, 2021,~~May 5, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock pursuant to the share repurchase policy.

As further described in Note 1 and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report, the ~~recent~~ second amended and restated investment advisory agreement (i) reduced the annual base management fees payable by us to CIM and (ii) amended the way the subordinated incentive fee on income and the capital gains incentive fee is payable by us to CIM by reducing the hurdle and incentive fee rates and expressing the hurdle rate as a percentage of our net assets rather than our adjusted capital. These changes were effective upon the Listing on October 5, 2021, except for the change to the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee payable to CIM that expresses the hurdle rate required for CIM to earn, and be paid, the incentive fee as a percentage of our net assets rather than adjusted capital, which was effective on August 10, 2021. These changes, in the aggregate, may lead to the payment of higher advisory fees to CIM depending upon our performance.

As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~November 11,~~December 31, 2021, we had ~~$115,834~~$15,763 and ~~$100,405~~$87,917 in short term investments, respectively, invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities.

JPM Credit Facility

For a detailed discussion of our unfunded commitments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

RIC Status and Distributions

To qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, distribute in respect of each taxable year at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. We will incur certain excise taxes imposed on RICs to the extent we do not distribute in respect of each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses, or capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses), for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gain net income from preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax.

For an additional discussion of our RIC status and distributions, refer to Note 2 and Note 5, respectively, of our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of certain recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we also utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The value of our assets is determined quarterly and at such other times that an event occurs that materially affects the valuation. The valuation is made pursuant to Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, which requires that we value our assets as follows: (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available, and (ii) for all other securities and assets, at fair value, as determined in good faith by our board of directors. As a BDC, Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act requires the board of directors to determine in good faith the fair value of portfolio securities for which a market price is not readily available, and it does so in conjunction with the application of our valuation procedures by CIM. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, our board of directors has designated CIM as our “valuation designee.” Our board of directors and the audit committee of our board of directors, which is comprised solely of our independent directors, oversees the activities, methodology and processes of the valuation designee.

There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each asset while employing a valuation process that is consistently followed. Determinations of fair value involve subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations in our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation Methods

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, ~~we undertake~~CIM, as the valuation designee of our board of directors, undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•~~our~~the quarterly valuation process generally begins with each portfolio company or investment either being sent directly to an independent valuation firm or initially valued by certain of CIM’s investment professionals and certain members of its management team, with such valuation taking into account information received from various sources, including independent valuation firms, if applicable;

•preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed ~~with~~by members of CIM’s management team;

•designated members of CIM’s management team review the preliminary valuation, and, if applicable, deliver such preliminary valuation to an independent valuation firm for its review;

•designated members of CIM’s management team and, if appropriate, the relevant investment professionals meet with the independent valuation firm to discuss the preliminary valuation;

•designated members of CIM’s management team respond and supplement the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the independent valuation firm;

•our audit committee meets with members of CIM’s management team and the independent valuation firms to discuss the assistance provided and the results of the independent valuation firms' review; and

•our board of directors ~~discusses~~and our audit committee provide oversight with respect to this valuation process, including requesting such materials as they may determine appropriate.

We shall promptly (but no later than five business days after we become aware) report to our board of directors in writing on the ~~valuation and determines~~occurrence of matters that materially affect the fair value of ~~each investment~~the designated portfolio of investments. Material matters in ~~our portfolio~~this instance include a significant deficiency or material weakness in ~~good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including~~ the ~~input and recommendation~~design or effectiveness of ~~CIM,~~CIM’s fair value determination process resulting in a material error in the ~~audit committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.~~calculation of net asset value of $0.01 per share or greater.

In addition to the foregoing, certain investments for which a market price is not readily available are evaluated on a quarterly basis by an independent valuation firm and certain other investments are on a rotational basis reviewed by an independent valuation firm. Finally, certain investments are not evaluated by an independent valuation firm unless certain aspects of such investments in the aggregate meet certain criteria.

Given the expected types of investments, excluding short term investments and stock of publicly traded companies that are classified as Level 1, management expects our portfolio holdings to be classified as Level 3. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, particularly for Level 3 investments, such fair value estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market for the investments existed. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses that we ultimately realize on these investments to materially differ from the valuations currently assigned. Inputs used in the valuation process are subject to variability in the future and can result in materially different fair values.

For an additional discussion of our investment valuation process, refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Related Party Transactions

For a discussion of our relationship with related parties including ~~CION Securities,~~ CIM, CIG, and AIA and amounts incurred under agreements with such related parties, refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Contractual Obligations

On August 26, 2016, 34th Street entered into the JPM Credit Facility with JPM, as amended and restated on September 30, 2016, July 11, 2017, November 28, 2017, May 23, 2018, May 15, 2020, ~~and~~ February 26, ~~2021.~~2021 and March 28, 2022. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the JPM Credit Facility.

On May 19, 2017, Murray Hill Funding II entered into the UBS Facility with UBS, as amended on December 1, 2017, May 19, 2020, November 12, 2020 and December 17, 2020. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the UBS Facility.

On February 11, 2021, we entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with purchasers of the 2026 Notes. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the 2026 Notes.

On April 14, 2021, we entered into the 2021 More Term Loan with More. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the 2021 More Term Loan.

On April 27, 2022, we entered into the 2022 More Term Loan with More Provident. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the 2022 More Term Loan.

~~Commitments and Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into certain contracts with other parties that contain a variety of indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, we have not experienced claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss related to such indemnifications to be remote.

Our investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, revolving credit facilities, or other unfunded commitments, which may require us to provide funding when requested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. For further details on such debt investments, refer to Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for those discussed in Note 7 and Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. However, management continually evaluates potential strategic relationships with third parties in which a newly formed, joint venture entity would invest primarily in U.S. middle-market companies consistent with our investment strategy.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of ~~September 30, 2021, 88.2%~~March 31, 2022, 84.8% of our investments paid variable interest rates. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments, especially to the extent that we hold variable rate investments, and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. To the extent that a majority of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates could make it easier for us to meet or exceed our incentive fee hurdle rate, as defined in our investment advisory agreement, and may result in a substantial increase in our net investment income, and also to the amount of incentive fees payable to CIM with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, under the terms of the Third Amended JPM Credit Facility, advances ~~currently~~ bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 3.10% per year. Under the terms of the JPM First Amendment, additional advances of up to $100,000 bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month SOFR, plus a credit spread of 3.10% per year, and a LIBOR to SOFR credit spread adjustment of 0.15%. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended UBS Facility, we currently pay a financing fee equal to the three-month LIBOR, plus a spread of 3.375% per year. In addition, we may seek to further borrow funds in order to make additional investments. Our net investment income will be impacted, in part, by the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we would be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments. We expect that our long-term investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. Our interest rate risk management techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve month period of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, excluding short term investments, assuming no changes in our investment portfolio, the Third Amended JPM Credit Facility (including the JPM First Amendment) or the Amended UBS Facility in effect as of ~~September 30, 2021:~~March 31, 2022:


Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	(Decrease) Increase in Net Interest Income(1)	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income		Basis Point Change in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income(1)	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income

No change to current base rate (0.12% as of September 30, 2021)		—	—
Down 50 basis points					Down 50 basis points	2,960	2.6	%
No change to current base rate (0.60% as of March 31, 2022)					No change to current base rate (0.60% as of March 31, 2022)	—	—
Up 50 basis points	Up 50 basis points	(1,966)	(1.9)	%	Up 50 basis points	(643)	(0.6)	%
Up 100 basis points	Up 100 basis points	(2,557)	(2.5)	%	Up 100 basis points	2,702	2.4	%
Up 200 basis points	Up 200 basis points	4,326	4.2	%	Up 200 basis points	10,321	9.0	%
Up 300 basis points	Up 300 basis points	12,352	12.1	%	Up 300 basis points	18,334	16.0	%

(1)This table assumes no change in defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis presented above does not consider the potential impact of the changes in fair value of our fixed rate debt investments, our fixed rate borrowings (the 2026 Notes and the 2021 More Term Loan), or the net asset value of our common stock in the event of sudden changes in interest rates. Approximately ~~6.1%~~9.8% of our investments paid fixed interest rates as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Rising market interest rates will most likely lead to fair value declines for fixed interest rate investments and fixed interest rate borrowings and a decline in the net asset value of our common stock, while declining market interest rates will most likely lead to an increase in the fair value of fixed interest rate investments and fixed interest rate borrowings and an increase in the net asset value of our common stock.

In addition, we may have risk regarding portfolio valuation as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Disclosure controls and procedures cannot detect or prevent all error and fraud. Some inherent limitations in disclosure controls and procedures include costs of implementation, faulty decision-making, simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all anticipated and unanticipated future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures.

Evaluation of internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies and other third parties. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~The risk factors presented below supplement, update, supersede and/or replace, as appropriate,~~There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~Risks Relating to Our Common Stock~~

~~The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.~~

The market price and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock that will prevail in the market may be higher or lower than the price you pay and may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include:

•~~significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of BDCs or other companies in our sector, which are not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;~~

•~~price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;~~

•~~the inclusion or exclusion of our stock from certain indices;~~

•~~changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs or BDCs;~~

•~~any loss of RIC or BDC status;~~

•~~changes in earnings or perceived changes or variations in operating results;~~

•~~changes or perceived changes in the value of our portfolio of investments;~~

•~~changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of our investments;~~

•~~any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;~~

•~~the inability of CIM to employ additional experienced investment professionals or the departure of any of CIM’s key personnel;~~

•~~short-selling pressure with respect to shares of our common stock or BDCs generally;~~

•~~future sales of our securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock or the conversion of such securities;~~

•~~uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economy;~~

•~~concerns regarding European sovereign debt and economic activity generally;~~

•~~operating performance of companies comparable to us;~~

•~~general economic trends and other external factors; and~~

•~~loss of a major funding source.~~

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price fluctuates significantly, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.

~~We cannot assure you that a market for shares of our common stock will be maintained or the market price of our shares will trade close to NAV.~~

We cannot assure you that a trading market for our common stock can be sustained. In addition, we cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade, whether at, above or below NAV. Shares of closed-end investment companies, including BDCs, frequently trade at a discount from NAV, and our common stock may also be discounted in the market. In addition, if our common stock trades below its NAV, we will generally not be able to sell additional shares of our common stock to the public at its market price without, among other things, the requisite shareholders approve such a sale.

~~Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.~~

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the availability of such shares for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for our common stock. If this occurs and continues, it could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities should we desire to do so.

~~We may in the future determine to issue preferred stock, which could adversely affect the market value of our common stock.~~

The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms more favorable to the holders of preferred stock than to our common shareholders could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. In addition, the dividends on any preferred stock we issue must be cumulative. Payment of dividends and repayment of the liquidation preference of preferred stock must take preference over any distributions or other payments to our common shareholders, and holders of preferred stock are not subject to any of our expenses or losses and are not entitled to participate in any income or appreciation in excess of their stated preference (other than convertible preferred stock that converts into common stock). In addition, under the 1940 Act, participating preferred stock and preferred stock constitutes a “senior security” for purposes of the asset coverage test.

~~We may incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.~~

Public companies incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Accordingly, we may incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, which are discussed below. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, significant resources and management oversight may be required. We may be implementing additional procedures, processes, policies and practices for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. These activities may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may incur significant additional annual expenses related to these steps and, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, reporting requirements of the SEC, transfer agent fees, additional administrative expenses payable to CIM, as our administrator, to compensate it for hiring additional accounting, legal and administrative personnel, increased auditing and legal fees and similar expenses.

We are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or our internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

Since our shares of common stock listed on the NYSE on October 5, 2021, we are now required to comply with the independent auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Complying with Section 404 requires a rigorous compliance program as well as adequate time and resources. We may not be able to complete our internal control evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. Additionally, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors are unable to attest to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

~~Summary Risk Factors~~

The summary risk factors presented below supplement, update, supersede and/or replace, as appropriate, the summary risk factors disclosed in “Part I – Summary of Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

•~~the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly;~~

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.
