Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full</font> year. CION intends to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on CION&#8217;s common stock is subject to the discretion of the <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Board</font> and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.</div>

To date</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">, distributions have not been paid from offering proceeds or borrowings. In certain prior periods, if expense&#160;support from CIG were not supported, some or all of the distributions may have been a return of capital; however, distributions have not included a return of capital as of the date hereof.</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">&#160; </font>CION has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. Through December 31, 2014, a portion of CION&#8217;s distributions resulted from expense&#160;support from CIG, and future distributions may result from expense&#160;support from CIG and AIM, each of which&#160;is subject to repayment by CION within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on CION&#8217;s investment performance, and can only be sustained if CION achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or CIG and AIM continue to&#160;provide such expense support. Shareholders should also understand that CION&#8217;s future repayments of expense&#160;support&#160;will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that CION will achieve such performance in order to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all. CIG and AIM have no obligation to provide expense&#160;support to CION in future periods.</div>
