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 t.s. below, investments do not contain a paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision.

b.The ~~1, 3 and 6 month~~actual Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable SOFR rate as of June 30, 2023, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a SOFR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2023. The actual London Interbank Offered Rate, or ~~LIBOR, rates were 1.79%, 2.29% and 2.93%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. The actual~~ LIBOR, rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a LIBOR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2022. The 1, 3 and 6 month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, rates were 1.69%, 2.12% and 2.63%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. The actual SOFR rate for each loan listed may not be the applicable SOFR rate as of June 30, 2022, as the loan may have been priced or repriced based on a SOFR rate prior to or subsequent to June 30, 2022.2023.

c.Fair value determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors (see Note 9), including via delegation to CIM as the Company’s valuation designee (see Note 2), using significant unobservable inputs unless otherwise noted.

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. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. 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. As of June 30, ~~2022, 93.3%~~2023, 94.3% of the Company’s total assets represented qualifying assets.

i.~~Position~~The Company has entered into a proceeds agreement with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, or ~~a portion thereof unsettled as~~Macquarie, in which any proceeds received by Macquarie from an underlying first lien term loan are passed onto the Company. Macquarie's obligations under the proceeds agreement are not secured by any collateral. The interest rate, maturity date, par balance and industry reflect the terms of ~~June 30, 2022.~~the underlying first lien term loan.

j.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.

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.

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 ~~April 5, 2021,~~August 7, 2023, 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 second amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of ~~twenty four~~twelve months, ~~which was subsequently approved by shareholders on~~commencing August 9, ~~2021 (as described in further detail below).~~2023. 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 continues to perform certain services for CIM and the 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 which AIM performs certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, 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~~On February 26, 2023, the Company’s shares of common stock also listed and commenced trading on the ~~second amended and restated investment advisory agreement is set forth in Proposal No. 3 in~~Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., or the ~~Company's definitive proxy statement filed on May 13, 2021.~~TASE, under the ticker symbol “CION”.

On September 21, 2021, the Company filed articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation, or the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland to effect a two to one reverse split of the Company’s shares of common stock, or the Reverse Stock Split. 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). A summary of the Company’s weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and earnings per share after adjusting for the Reverse Stock Split is as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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, ~~2021~~2022 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, ~~2022.~~2023. The consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 are derived from the ~~2021~~2022 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 equity ~~interests~~interest in ~~CION SOF Funding, LLC, or CION SOF, or~~ CION/EagleTree Partners, LLC, or CION/EagleTree. See Note 7 for a description of the Company’s ~~investments~~investment in ~~CION SOF and~~ CION/EagleTree.

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

Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, or ASU 2022-03, which clarifies the guidance when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, 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 expedients and exceptions provided by this guidance do not apply to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of this guidance to December 31, 2024. 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.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include an investment in a U.S. Treasury obligations fund, which seeks to provide current income and daily liquidity by purchasing U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by such securities. The Company had ~~$14,345~~$100,771 and ~~$87,917~~$10,869 of such investments at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, which are included in investments, at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated schedules of investments.

~~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~~their 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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 or December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

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, 2020 and ~~2020.~~2021.

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 loosened these restrictions, such actions created and will continue to create disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacted many industries. 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2022 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of 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, the latter of 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.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

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 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.

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 or its designee.

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 or its designee review and approve the valuation determinations made with respect to these investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation process.

As a practical expedient, the Company ~~used~~uses net asset value, or NAV, as the fair value for its equity ~~investments in CION SOF and BCP Great Lakes Fund LP, and the Company uses NAV as the fair value for its equity investments~~investment in CION/EagleTree. ~~CION SOF and BCP Great Lakes Fund LP recorded, and~~ CION/EagleTree records its underlying investments at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 820.

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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

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~~collectability 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 (Decrease) Increase ~~(Decrease)~~ in Net Assets per Share

Net (decrease) 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.

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 distribution paid on September 14, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2021. On September 15, 2021, the Company adopted a new distribution reinvestment plan, or the New DRP, which became effective as of the Listing, and first applied to the reinvestment of distributions paid after October 5, 2021. For additional information regarding the terms of the New DRP, see Note 5.

Reverse Stock Split

~~As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective~~Effective on September 21, 2021, every two shares of the Company's common stock then issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one share of the Company's common stock, with the number of then issued and outstanding shares reduced from 113,916,869 to 56,958,440. The ~~Reverse Stock Split Amendment~~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.~~reverse stock split. In addition, the ~~Reverse Stock Split~~reverse stock split did not modify the rights or preferences of the Company’s common stock.

Listing and Fractional Shares

On October 5, 2021, the Company's shares of common stock commenced trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CION”. As approved by shareholders on September 7, 2021, ~~at the Company’s final, reconvened 2021 annual meeting of shareholders,~~ the Listing was staggered such that (i) up to 1/3rd of shares held by all shareholders were available for trading upon Listing, (ii) up to 2/3rd of shares held by all shareholders were available for trading starting 180 days after Listing, or April 4, 2022, and (iii) all shares were available for trading starting 270 days after Listing, or July 5, 2022. The Company eliminated all then outstanding fractional shares of its common stock in connection with the Listing, as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, on July 14, 2022. On February 26, 2023, the Company’s shares of common stock also listed and commenced trading on the TASE under the ticker symbol “CION”.

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 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.

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.

(1)Amounts charged directly to operations.

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with CIM. On ~~April 5, 2021,~~August 7, 2023, 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 second amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of ~~twenty four~~twelve months, ~~which was subsequently approved by shareholders on~~commencing August 9, ~~2021.~~2023. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement in effect prior to the Listing, 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%. ~~At the Special Meeting of Shareholders on~~On December 30, 2021, shareholders approved a proposal to reduce the Company’s asset coverage ratio to 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 in effect prior to the Listing, equal to 1.875% per quarter, or an annualized rate of 7.5%. Under the investment advisory agreement in effect prior to the Listing, 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 also in effect prior to the Listing, 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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded subordinated incentive fees on income of $4,965 and $4,091, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and ~~$0,~~2022, the Company recorded subordinated incentive fees on income of $11,300 and $8,224, respectively. As of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the liabilities recorded for subordinated incentive fees were ~~$4,091~~$4,967 and ~~$3,942,~~$5,065, 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 six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, 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,~~8, 2022, 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.~~

On January 1, 2019, the Company entered into a servicing agreement with CIM’s affiliate, Apollo Investment Administration, L.P., or AIA, pursuant to which AIA furnishes the Company with administrative services including, but not limited to, loan and high yield trading services, trade and settlement support, and monthly valuation reports and support for all broker quoted investments. 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.2022.

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 was sufficient to: (1) ensure that no portion of the Company’s distributions to shareholders was paid from its offering proceeds or borrowings, and/or (2) reduce the Company’s operating expenses until it achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that 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.

Pursuant to the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement, the Company had a conditional obligation to reimburse CIM for any amounts funded by CIM under such agreement (i) if expense support amounts funded by CIM exceeded operating expenses incurred during any fiscal quarter, (ii) if the sum of the ~~Company��s~~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) exceeded the distributions paid by the Company to shareholders, and (iii) during any fiscal quarter 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 was further conditioned by the following: (i) in the period in which reimbursement was sought, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets, when considering the reimbursement, 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 was sought, the annualized distribution rate could not have fallen below the annualized distribution rate for the period when the expense support was provided; and (iii) the expense support could have only been reimbursed within three years from the date the expense support was provided.

Expense support, if any, was determined as appropriate to meet the objectives of the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement. 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. ~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not receive any expense support from CIM.~~ See Note 5 for additional information on the sources of the Company’s distributions. The Company did not record any obligation to repay expense support from CIM and the Company did not repay any expense support to CIM during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 or the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the total liability payable to CIM and its affiliates was ~~$11,582~~$12,087 and ~~$12,332,~~$13,692, respectively, which primarily related to fees earned by CIM during the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

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.

Indemnifications

The investment advisory agreement, the administration agreement and the dealer manager agreement 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.

On August ~~9, 2022,~~7, 2023, the Company’s co-chief executive officers declared (i) a regular quarterly distribution of ~~$0.31~~$0.34 per share for the third quarter of ~~2022~~2023 payable on September ~~8, 2022~~15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 1, ~~2022.~~2023 and (ii) a supplemental distribution of $0.05 per share for both the third and fourth quarters of 2023, payable on October 16, 2023 and January 15, 2024, respectively, to shareholders of record as of September 29, 2023 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

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 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 first applied to the reinvestment of distributions paid on December 8, 2021.

Under the Old DRP and prior to the Listing, 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 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 following table below provides information concerning the Company’s repurchases of shares of its common stock in the open market during the three months ended June 30, 2023 pursuant to the New DRP in order to satisfy the reinvestment portion of the Company’s distributions:

The Company may fund its 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. Any such distributions can only be sustained if the Company maintains positive investment performance in future 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 June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 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, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company will also be subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes of 4% 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 ~~2021~~2022 were characterized as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The tax components of accumulated earnings or losses for the current year will be determined at year end. As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the components of accumulated losses on a tax basis were as follows:


	December 31, ~~2021~~2022
Undistributed ordinary income	$	~~7,156~~8,543
Other accumulated ~~losses~~losses(1)	~~(59,977)~~(77,942)

Net unrealized depreciation on investments	~~(76,059)~~(91,091)
Total accumulated losses	$	~~(128,880)~~(160,490)

(1)Includes short term capital loss carryforwards of $7,233 and long term capital loss carryforwards of $66,284.

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $26,828; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $169,033; the net unrealized depreciation was $142,205; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was $1,930,667.

As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was ~~$23,484;~~$31,155; the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was ~~$131,795;~~$122,246; the net unrealized depreciation was ~~$108,311;~~$91,091; and the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes was ~~$1,913,763.~~$1,851,121.

~~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 distributions and on March 19, 2021, distributed all remaining capital to the Company and BCP.

The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $122,300, after the deduction of placement agent fees and other financing expenses, which the Company used to repay debt under its secured financing arrangements.

~~(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)~~

The 2026 Notes mature on February 11, 2026. 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.

The 2026 Notes 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 Note Purchase 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, (iii) minimum shareholders’ equity of 60% of the Company’s net asset value as of the year ended December 31, 2020 plus 50% of the net cash proceeds of the sale of certain equity interests by the Company after February 11, 2021, if any, (iv) a minimum asset coverage ratio of not less than 150%, (v) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 and (vi) 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. As of and for the three months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements.

The Note Purchase Agreement also contains a “most favored lender” provision in favor of the purchasers in respect of any new unsecured credit facilities, loans or indebtedness in excess of $25,000 incurred by the Company, which indebtedness contains a financial covenant not contained in, or more restrictive against the Company than those contained, in the Note Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Note Purchase 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.

As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes outstanding was $125,000.

Through June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $2,669 in connection with issuing the 2026 Notes, which were recorded as a direct reduction to the outstanding balance of the 2026 Notes, which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and will amortize to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs was ~~$1,931.~~$1,398.

On May 19, 2017, the Company contributed assets to Murray Hill Funding II. The assets held by Murray Hill Funding II secure the obligations of Murray Hill Funding II under Class A-1 Notes, or the Notes, issued by Murray Hill Funding II.

Murray Hill Funding purchased the Notes issued by Murray Hill Funding II at a purchase price equal to their par value. Murray Hill Funding makes capital contributions to Murray Hill Funding II to, among other things, maintain the value of the portfolio of assets held by Murray Hill Funding II.

Principal on the Notes will be due and payable on the stated maturity date of May 19, 2027.

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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, refer to the table above and the consolidated schedules of investments. As of August ~~4, 2022,~~2, 2023, the Company was committed, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to fund an additional $~~81,369~~54,475.

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 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.

Note 12. Fee Income

The following table summarizes the Company’s fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2021:~~2022:

(1)The per share data for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was derived by using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. ~~The share information utilized to determine per share data in this table has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split discussed in Note 3.~~

(2)The amount shown for net realized ~~(loss) gain and~~loss, net change in unrealized ~~(depreciation) appreciation~~depreciation on investments and loss on foreign currency 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 (decrease) increase in net assets resulting from operations in this schedule may vary from the consolidated statements of operations.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

~~(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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company's follow-on continuous public offering ended on January 25, 2019.

~~(4)~~(3)Repurchases of common stock may have caused an incremental decrease or increase in net asset value per share due to the repurchase of shares at a price in excess of or below net asset value per share, respectively, 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 six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2023 and 2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

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

~~(6)~~(4)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 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 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.

~~(7)~~(5)Total investment return-market value for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022 was calculated by taking the change in the market price of the Company's common stock since the first day of the period, and including the impact of distributions reinvested in accordance with the Company’s New DRP. Total investment return-market value does not 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.

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

~~(9)~~(6)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.

~~(10)~~(7)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.

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 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 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. On February 26, 2023, our shares of common stock also listed and commenced trading on the TASE under the ticker symbol “CION”.

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 ~~April 5, 2021,~~August 7, 2023, our board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons, approved the renewal of the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement with CIM for a period of ~~twenty four~~twelve months, ~~which was subsequently approved by shareholders on~~commencing August 9, ~~2021 (as described in further detail below).~~2023. 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. 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 continues to perform certain services for CIM and 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 which AIM performs certain services for CIM, which include, among other services, 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 two to one 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 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

~~Share Repurchase Policy~~Q3 2023 Regular and Supplemental Distributions

On ~~June 24, 2022,~~August 7, 2023, our ~~board~~co-chief executive officers declared (i) a regular quarterly distribution of ~~directors, including~~$0.34 per share for the ~~independent directors, increased~~third quarter of 2023 payable on September 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2023 and (ii) a supplemental distribution of $0.05 per share for both the ~~amount~~third and fourth quarters of ~~shares~~2023, payable on October 16, 2023 and January 15, 2024, respectively, to shareholders of ~~our common stock that may be repurchased under our existing share repurchase policy by $10 million to up to an aggregate~~record as of $60 million. Additionally, we expect to enter into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases under the share repurchase policy during our first available trading window after the filing of this report.September 29, 2023 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

6267

Under the share repurchase policy, we expect to 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 share repurchase 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.

The 10b5-1 trading plan will be entered into by us and adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act 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.

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.

6570

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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, excluding short term investments of ~~$14,345~~$100,771 and ~~$87,917,~~$10,869, 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.

For the three months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, we generated investment income of ~~$43,552~~$58,496 and ~~$38,021,~~$43,552, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt, collateralized securities and structured products, and unsecured debt of ~~113~~100 and ~~123~~112 portfolio companies held during each respective period. ~~Our average~~The increase in investment ~~portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, increased $160,519, from $1,604,801 for the three months ended June 30, 2021~~income was primarily due to ~~$1,765,321 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

~~Operating Expenses and Income Taxes~~

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

Three Months Ended
June 30,
2022 2021
Management fees $ 6,839 $ 8,243
Administrative services expense 781 697
Subordinated incentive fee on income 4,091 —
General and administrative 1,712 2,563
Interest expense 10,841 7,828
Income tax expense, including excise tax — 4
Total operating expenses and income taxes $ 24,264 $ 19,335

The increase in subordinated incentive fee on income was primarily the result of entering into (i) the amended and restated investment advisory agreement in August 2021, which changed the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee 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 increase in interest expense was primarily the result of (a) higher average borrowings under our financing arrangements during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, and (b) higher LIBOR and SOFR rates during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in management fees was also primarily due to entering into the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement in October 2021, which among other things reduced the annual rate from 2.0% to 1.5%.

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

Three Months Ended
June 30,

~~Net Investment Income After Taxes~~

Our net investment income after taxes totaled $19,288 and $18,686 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in our investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was partially offset by an increase in our operating expenses during the same period, which was driven primarily by increases in the subordinated incentive fee on income and interest expense.

~~Net Realized Gain on Investments and Foreign Currency~~

Our net realized gain on investments and foreign currency totaled $180 and $441 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was driven primarily by less sale activity during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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

The net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on our investments totaled $(20,734) and $8,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This change was driven primarily by widening credit spreads and decreased multiples in equity markets as well as the underperformance of certain portfolio companies during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that negatively impacted the fair value of certain of our investments, as compared to tightening credit spreads and increased multiples in equity markets during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that positively impacted the fair value of certain of our investments.

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

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net (decrease) increase in net assets resulting from operations of $(1,266) and $27,969, respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

~~Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021~~

~~Investment Income~~

~~For the~~ ~~six~~ months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated investment income of $85,235 and $74,324, respectively, consisting primarily of interest income on investments in senior secured debt, collateralized securities and structured products, and unsecured debt of 119 and 127 portfolio companies held during each respective period. Our average investment portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, increased $142,951, from $1,585,664 for the ~~six~~ months ended June 30, 2021 to $1,728,615 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, the increase in LIBOR rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 also contributed to the increase in interest income generated on our investments.

Operating Expenses and Income Taxes

The composition of our operating expenses and income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,

Total operating expenses and income taxes	$	35,080	$	24,264

The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of (a) higher LIBOR and SOFR rates during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and (b) higher average borrowings under our financing arrangements during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in subordinated incentive fee on income was primarily the result of the increase in investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was partially offset by the increase in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Investment Income After Taxes

Our net investment income after taxes totaled $23,416 and $19,288 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net investment income was a result of an increase in our investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was partially offset by an increase in our operating expenses during the same period, which was driven primarily by increases in interest expense and the subordinated incentive fee on income.

Net Realized (Loss) Gain on Investments and Foreign Currency

Our net realized (loss) gain on investments and foreign currency totaled $(18,928) and $180 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This change was driven primarily by realized losses on the restructure of certain investments during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on our investments totaled $23,406 and $(20,734) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This change was driven primarily by the restructure of certain investments with unrealized losses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to widening credit spreads and decreased multiples in equity markets as well as the underperformance of certain investments during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded a net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations of $27,894 and $(1,266), respectively, as a result of our operating activity for the respective periods.

The increase in LIBOR and SOFR rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 contributed to the increase in interest income generated on our investments. However, our average investment portfolio size, excluding our short term investments, decreased $10,189, from $1,728,615 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $1,718,426 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in subordinated incentive fee on income was primarily the result of entering into (i) the amended and restated investment advisory agreement in August 2021, which changed the calculation of the subordinated incentive fee 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 increase in interest expense was primarily the result of (a) higher LIBOR and SOFR rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (b) higher average borrowings under our financing arrangements during the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, ~~2021, and (b) higher LIBOR rates~~2022.

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 and pursuant to the 1940 Act. As a result, we also generate cash from our existing financing arrangements and may generate cash from future borrowings, as well as future offerings of securities including public and/or private issuances of debt and/or equity securities. We use cash primarily to (i) purchase investments in new and existing portfolio companies, (ii) pay for the cost of operations (including paying advisory fees to and/or reimbursing CIM), (iii) make debt service payments related to any of our financing arrangements and (iv) pay cash distributions to the holders of our shares.

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. ~~At our Special Meeting~~As a result of ~~Shareholders~~receiving shareholder approval on December 30, 2021, ~~shareholders approved a proposal to reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150%. As a result, commencing on~~effective 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 increase the maximum amount of leverage that we are permitted to incur. We may from time to time enter into additional financing arrangements or amend the size of our existing financing arrangements. Any increase to our leverage would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our asset coverage ratio was 1.85 and 1.92, respectively. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage.

On ~~July 30, 2021,~~September 15, 2022, 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 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~~ authorized 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, which authorization expired on August 9, 2022. We did~~approval. As of the date of this report, we are not engaged in discussions to issue any such shares through the expiration date. We are currently seeking approval from our shareholders to again authorize us to issue shares below the then current NAV per share in one or more offerings for an additional 12-month period following such shareholder approval. There can be no assurance that such approval will be received from our shareholders.shares.

~~On September 15, 2021,~~As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $11,515 and short term investments of $100,771 invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities. Cash and short term investments as of June 30, 2023, taken together with our ~~co-chief executive officers changed~~available debt, is expected to be sufficient for our investing and financing activities and to conduct our operations in the ~~timing~~near term. As of ~~declaring~~June 30, 2023, we had $125 million available under our financing arrangements.

Our short-term cash needs include the funding of additional portfolio investments, the payment of operating expenses including interest expense, management fees, incentive fees, administrative services expense and general and administrative expenses, as well as paying ~~regular~~ distributions to ~~shareholders~~our shareholders. Our long-term cash needs will include principal payments on outstanding financing arrangements and funding of additional portfolio investments. Funding for short and long-term cash needs will come from ~~monthly~~cash provided from operating activities and/or unused net proceeds from financing activities. We believe that our liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to ~~quarterly commencing with the fourth quarter~~satisfy our short and long-term cash requirements. We cannot, however, be certain that these sources of 2021. On August 9, 2022, our co-chief executive officers declared a regular quarterly distribution of $0.31 per share for the third quarter of 2022 payable on September 8, 2022 to shareholders of record as of September 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 distributions on a quarterly basis. Regular and special distributions in respect of future periodsfunds will be ~~evaluated by management~~available at a time and ~~our board of directors based on circumstances and expectations existing at~~upon terms acceptable to us in sufficient amounts in 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.~~future.

Post-Listing Share Repurchase Policy

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. On June 24, 2022, our board of directors, including the independent directors, increased the amount of shares of our common stock that may be repurchased under the share repurchase policy by $10 million to up to an aggregate of $60 million. 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.

AsOn August 16, 2022, as part of the share repurchase policy, we ~~intend to enter~~entered into a trading plan ~~during our first available trading window after the filing of this report adopted~~with an independent broker, Wells Fargo, 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~~permits 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~~is subject to price, market volume and timing restrictions. ~~Since~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we ~~have not yet entered into a~~repurchased an aggregate of 666,657 shares under the 10b5-1 trading plan ~~during the period from September 15, 2021~~for an aggregate purchase price of $6,818, or an average purchase price of $10.23 per share.

From July 1, 2023 to August ~~5, 2022,~~2, 2023, we ~~did not repurchase any~~repurchased an aggregate of 57,691 shares of common stock ~~pursuant~~under the 10b5-1 trading plan for an aggregate purchase price of $621, or an average purchase price of $10.76 per share. From the inception of the 10b5-1 trading plan in August 2022 through August 2, 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of 2,383,304 shares of common stock under the 10b5-1 trading plan for an aggregate purchase price of $22,882, or an average purchase price of $9.60 per share.

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 an excise tax of 4% 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.

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 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.

The following table presents distributions per share ~~repurchase policy.~~that were declared during the year ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023:

On August 7, 2023, our co-chief executive officers declared (i) a regular quarterly distribution of $0.34 per share for the third quarter of 2023 payable on September 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2023 and (ii) a supplemental distribution of $0.05 per share for both the third and fourth quarters of 2023, payable on October 16, 2023 and January 15, 2024, respectively, to shareholders of record as of September 29, 2023 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

For an additional discussion of our RIC status and distributions, refer to Note 12 and Note ~~4 to~~5, respectively, of our consolidated financial statements included in this report, the 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.report.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $42,542 and $3,774, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $14,345 and $87,917 in short term investments, respectively, invested in a fund that primarily invests in U.S. government securities.

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.

7278

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, CIM, as the valuation designee of our board of directors, undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

•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 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 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 occurrence of matters that materially affect the fair value of the designated portfolio of investments. Material matters in this instance include a significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or effectiveness of CIM’s fair value determination process resulting in a material error in the 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

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.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, ~~2022, 84.9%~~2023, 82.6% 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 June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, under the terms of the ~~Third Amended~~ JPM ~~Credit Facility,~~Second Amendment, advances ~~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%~~3.05% 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,~~SOFR, plus a spread of ~~3.375%~~(a) to (but excluding) November 19, 2023, 3.525% per year, and (b) thereafter, 3.20% per year. Pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust, the Series A Notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to average overnight SOFR, plus a credit spread of 3.82% per year. Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 More Term Loan, advances 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. 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~~Second Amendment), the Amended UBS Facility, the Series A Notes or the 2022 More Term Loan in effect as of June 30, ~~2022:~~2023:

(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 ~~10.0%~~7.4% of our investments paid fixed interest rates as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. 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.

~~Inflation and Supply Chain Risk~~

Economic activity has continued to accelerate across sectors and regions. Nevertheless, due to global supply chain issues, geopolitical events, a rise in energy prices and strong consumer demand as economies continue to reopen, inflation is showing signs of acceleration in the U.S. and globally. Inflation is likely to continue in the near to medium-term, particularly in the U.S., with the possibility that monetary policy may tighten in response. Persistent inflationary pressures could affect our portfolio companies' respective profit margins.

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 June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, 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 June 30, ~~2022~~2023 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

In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes ~~from~~during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to the risk factors ~~disclosed~~set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022, except as set forth below.

We and our portfolio companies may maintain cash balances at financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits and may otherwise be materially affected by adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties.

Our cash is held principally at one financial institution that we believe is of high quality and at times may exceed insured limits. Cash held by us and by our portfolio companies in non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing operating accounts may exceed the FDIC insurance limits. If such banking institutions were to fail, we or our portfolio companies could lose all or a portion of those amounts held in excess of such insurance limitations. In addition, actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems, which could adversely affect our and our portfolio companies’ business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

Although we assess our banking relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial institutions with which we have arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which we have financial or business relationships but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all.
