FIRST QUARTER AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

•Net investment income and earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $0.25 per share and $(0.45) per share, respectively;

•Net asset value per share was $13.11 as of March 31, 2026 compared to $13.76 as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.65 per share, or 4.7%. The decrease was primarily due to mark-to-market price adjustments to certain investments in the Company’s portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2026;

•As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1.17 billion of total principal amount of debt outstanding, of which 25% was comprised of senior secured bank debt and 75% was comprised of unsecured debt. The Company’s net debt-to-equity ratio was 1.62x as of March 31, 2026 compared to 1.44x as of December 31, 2025;

•As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total investments at fair value of $1.70 billion in 89 portfolio companies across 23 industries. The investment portfolio was comprised of 80.8% senior secured first lien investments;1

•During the quarter, the Company funded new investment commitments of $54 million, funded previously unfunded commitments of $12 million, and had sales and repayments totaling $38 million, resulting in a net increase to the Company's funded portfolio of $28 million;

•As of March 31, 2026, investments on non-accrual status amounted to 1.53% and 5.35% of the total investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, from 1.78% and 4.32%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025;

•During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1,116,053 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of $8.71 per share for a total repurchase amount of $9.7 million. Through March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 6,656,627 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of $9.80 per share for a total repurchase amount of $65.2 million;

•On February 9, 2026, the Company completed a public baby bond offering in the U.S. pursuant to which the Company issued $135 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.50% fixed rate senior unsecured notes due 2031, which listed and commenced trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CICC” on February 12, 2026; and

•On March 30, 2026, the Company repaid $100 million in aggregate principal amount of borrowings under its JPM Credit Facility.

DISTRIBUTIONS

•For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid monthly base distributions totaling $15.2 million, or $0.30 per share; and

•On March 9, 2026, the Company’s co-chief executive officers declared base distributions of $0.10 per share for each of April, May, and June 2026, which were paid or will be payable to shareholders on April 24, May 29, and June 26, 2026, respectively, to shareholders of record as of April 10, May 15, and June 12, 2026, respectively.

Mark Gatto, co-Chief Executive Officer of CION, commented:

“We believe that our core first lien portfolio, which represents approximately 81% of our investments, continues to perform well — weighted average interest coverage and weighted average leverage remained relatively steady from the prior quarter. We also believe that our intentionally low software exposure of 1.8% reflects the defensive construction of our book. While first quarter NAV was impacted by unrealized mark-to-market adjustments, we remain confident in the durability of our first lien focused strategy continuing into 2026.”
