CION INVESTMENT CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER

Repurchase Program While Management

Continues Deleveraging Strategy

For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, NY, August 6, 2026 — CION

Investment Corporation (NYSE: CION) (“CION” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second

quarter ended June 30, 2026 and filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

CION also announced that, on August 3, 2026,

its co-chief executive officers declared base distributions of $0.10 per share for each of October, November and December 2026,

which will be payable to shareholders on October 30, November 27, and December 28, 2026, respectively, to shareholders

of record as of October 16, November 13, and December 11, 2026, respectively.

SECOND QUARTER AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

· Net investment income and earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $0.29 per share

and $0.62 per share, respectively;

• Net asset value per share was $13.57 as of June 30, 2026 compared to $13.11 as of March 31,

2026, an increase of $0.46 per share, or 3.5%. The increase was primarily due to mark-to-market price increases to certain equity investments

in the Company’s portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2026;

· As of June 30, 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

· As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total investments at fair value of $1.65 billion in 82 portfolio

companies across 23 industries. The investment portfolio was comprised of 79.2% senior secured first lien investments;1

· During the quarter, the Company funded new investment commitments of $54 million, funded previously unfunded

commitments of $13 million, and had sales and repayments totaling $157 million, resulting in a net decrease to the Company's funded portfolio

of $90 million;

· As of June 30, 2026, investments on non-accrual status amounted to 1.44% and 4.41% of the total investment

portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, down from 1.53% and 5.35%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026;

· During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1,099,109 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading

plan at an average price of $7.28 per share for a total repurchase amount of $8.0 million. Through June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased

a total of 7,755,736 shares of its common stock under its 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of $9.44 per share for a total repurchase

amount of $73.2 million;

· On July 9 and July 24, 2026, the Company repaid a total of approximately $125 million in aggregate

principal amount of borrowings under its JPM Credit Facility;

· On July 15, 2026, the Company entered into note purchase agreements with certain institutional investors

in connection with the Company's issuance of up to $10 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2029

and up to $50 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.00% senior unsecured notes due 2031. The initial closing on July 15,

2026 consisted of an aggregate principal amount of $2 million in 7.50% 2029 Notes and an aggregate principal amount of $28 million in

8.00% 2031 Notes; and

· On July 30, 2026, the Company increased the authorized amount of shares that may be repurchased by

the Company under its share repurchase policy by $50 million, from up to $80 million to up to $130 million. The share repurchase policy

may be implemented at the Company’s sole discretion, subject to market conditions, applicable law and other factors.

DISTRIBUTIONS

· For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid monthly base distributions totaling $14.8 million,

or $0.30 per share.

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

"This was a good quarter based on our key

metrics — net asset value per share was up, net investment income was up, and non-accruals were down, with no new names placed on

non-accrual and no new internal risk rating downgrades. Reflecting that confidence, our Board has authorized a $50 million increase to

our existing share repurchase program, bringing the total to $130 million. We continue to believe our stock is significantly undervalued

relative to our net asset value, and we are prepared to continue acting on that conviction."

Total investment income for the three months ended

June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 was $49.8 million and $49.5 million, respectively. The slight increase in total investment

income was primarily driven by an increase in the amortization of purchase discounts from opportunistic investment purchases made during the second quarter. This increase

was partially offset by lower interest income earned on our investments due to a reduction in the size of our portfolio during

the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Operating expenses for the three months ended

June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 were $35.6 million and $36.7 million, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was

primarily attributable to lower interest expense, which resulted from a decrease in the Company's average debt outstanding during the

second quarter. The decrease was further driven by lower general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2026

compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

ENDNOTES

1) The discussion of the investment portfolio excludes short-term investments.

2) Total debt outstanding excludes netting of debt issuance costs of $14.9 million and $16.7 million as of

June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

3) The fixed versus floating rate composition has been calculated as a percentage of performing debt investments

measured on a fair value basis, including income producing preferred stock investments and excludes investments, if any, on non-accrual

status.

4) Computed based on the (a) annual actual interest rate or yield earned plus amortization of fees and

discounts on the performing debt and other income producing investments as of the reporting date, divided by (b) the total performing

debt and other income producing investments (excluding investments on non-accrual status) at amortized cost. This calculation excludes

exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of the investment.

5) For a particular portfolio company, the Company calculates the level of contractual indebtedness net of

cash (“net debt”) owed by the portfolio company and compares that amount to measures of cash flow available to service the

net debt. To calculate net debt, the Company includes debt that is both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by it but excludes

debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by the Company. The Company believes this calculation

method assists in describing the risk of its portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of repayment of

the tranche of debt owned by the Company relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. The Company typically calculates

cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by taking EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period. Weighted average net

debt to EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of the Company's performing debt investments and excluding investments where net debt

to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and

covenanted based on recurring revenue.

For a particular portfolio company,

the Company also calculates the level of contractual interest expense owed by the portfolio company and compares that amount to EBITDA

(“interest coverage ratio”). The Company believes this calculation method assists in describing the risk of its portfolio

investments, as it takes into consideration contractual interest obligations of the portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage

is weighted based on the fair value of the Company's performing debt and equity investments, and excludes investments where interest coverage

may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted

based on recurring revenue.

Portfolio company statistics, including

EBITDA, are derived from the financial statements most recently provided to the Company for each portfolio company as of the reported

end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by the Company and may reflect a normalized or adjusted

amount.

6) Median EBITDA is calculated based on the portfolio company's EBITDA as of the Company's initial investment.
