CION Overview & Fund - to - Date Performance • Rigorous in - house underwriting is an effective “filter” for top - quality origination • Top - tier institutional relationships, including PE firms, asset managers and investment banks • 2,500+ transactions reviewed since inception, providing deep experience in a range of industries • $6.5bn of capital deployed Differentiated approach to origination & investment pipeline • Focused on constructing a highly diversified portfolio: 122 portfolio companies across 22 industries • Highly granular portfolio: no individual investment >2.7% of portfolio • Closed on only 5% of loans reviewed • Risk management is core to CION’s investment philosophy Deal sourcing culture anchored to rigorous risk management • CION commenced operations in December 2012 and has since grown to $1.7 billion in assets, providing a cumulative total return of 71.27% from inception through March 31, 2021 1 • An experienced management team, with more than 100 years of total financial market experience • CION benefits from an 18 - person team at CION Investment Group, with 11 investment professionals focused on origination and rigorous underwriting Consistent and resilient credit performance • Focus on direct or club first lien investments at the top of the borrowers’ capital stack • 92% senior secured loans and 97% of portfolio companies with PE sponsorship • Minimum exposure to cyclical industries, with a cumulative annualized loss rate of only 0.11% 2 High - quality portfolio focused on senior secured loans • With leverage of 0.79x, among the lowest in the sector, CION has generated a 8.6% NII return on equity 3 • Attractive return on NAV at current < 1x debt - to - equity levels and predominantly first lien portfolio • More than $400mm of incremental leverage capacity if 150% asset coverage were approved by shareholders 4 Conservative leverage, with potential meaningful increase Source: Company filings. Note: All financial data as of March 31, 2021. (1) For initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial pu rchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price excluding sales load). (2) The cumulative annualized loss rate as of March 31, 2021 is calculated as the aggregate investment cost at write - off less (i) an y economic benefit realized (interest and fees) and (ii) any economic recovery over total Invested Capital. (3) Calculated as of March 31, 2021 using TTM NII to average net assets. (4) If CION’s leverage does increase, shareholders w oul d bear the burden of any increase in CION’s expenses as a result of such additional leverage, including interest expense, and an y increase in the advisory fees payable to CIM. In addition, if the value of CION’s assets decreases, increased leverage would cause net asset value and net investment income to decline more ra pid ly and to a greater extent than they otherwise would have had CION not incurred increased leverage, which would negatively af fec t CION’s ability to pay distributions to shareholders. 6

Why a Direct Listing Makes Sense in Today’s Market A direct listing of CION provides compelling benefits to existing shareholders 7 • Listing on NYSE provides for immediately enhanced liquidity and path to full liquidity for shareholders 1 Shareholder Liquidity & Optionality 1 • Ability to diversify and grow shareholder base with institutional investors and benefit from institutional research coverage • Investment by institutional investors would likely drive increased overall trading liquidity and greater share price stability Shareholder Base Development 4 • Greater availability and ready access to capital to make attractive new investments in portfolio companies • Opportunity to enhance long - term dividend yield and return on equity Strategically Deploy Capital 3 • Reduction in management fee upon listing from 2.00% to 1.50%, and further reduce the fee to 1.00% for any assets financed with leverage over 1.0x if and when utilized • Reduction in incentive fee to 17.5% and reduction in income hurdle to 6.5% of NAV • Listed company fee structure will be in - line with BDC market peers Fee Structure Amendment 2 • Scaled, senior - loan focused BDCs currently trading near or at a premium to net asset value per share Conducive BDC Markets & Equity Capital Markets Backdrop 5 (1) Obtaining full liquidity for all shares is subject to a staggered lock - up on transfer and ultimately the development of a functi oning secondary market for the shares.

(1) Listed BDC peers consist of all publicly traded and externally - managed BDCs with $500mm or greater market capitalization.

Note: Financial data as of March 31, 2021. Incremental leverage capacity calculations subject to shareholder and/or Board of Dir ectors approval of the application of minimum asset coverage ratio of 150%, as set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. Future outcomes may vary and there is no certainty related to achieving shareholder approval of lower asset coverage ratio of 150%. (1) If CION’s leverage does increase, shareholders would bear the burden of any increase in CION’s expenses as a result of such a ddi tional leverage, including interest expense, and any increase in the advisory fees payable to CIM. In addition, if the value of CION’s assets decreases, increased leverage would cause net asset value and net investment income to decline more rapidly and to a greater extent than they otherwise would have had CION no t incurred increased leverage, which would negatively affect CION’s ability to pay distributions to shareholders.
