<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The determination of the tax attributes of CIC&rsquo;s
distributions is made annually as of the end of CIC&rsquo;s fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each
case, for the full year. 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 year. CIC 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&nbsp;1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on CIC&rsquo;s common stock is subject
to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing
of any such future distributions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">CIC may fund its cash distributions to shareholders
from any sources of funds available to it, including borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the
sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred
and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from CION Investment&nbsp;Management, LLC (&ldquo;CIM&rdquo;),
which is subject to recoupment. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as a return of capital.
Shareholders should understand that any distributions funded by expense support from CIM are not based on CIC&rsquo;s investment performance,
and any such distributions can only be sustained if CIC maintains positive investment performance in future periods and/or CIM continues
to provide such expense support. Shareholders should also understand that CIC&rsquo;s future repayments of expense support will reduce
the distributions that they would otherwise receive.&nbsp; There can be no assurance that CIC will be able to pay distributions at all.&nbsp;
CIM has no obligation to provide expense support to CIC in future periods. To date, distributions have not been paid from offering proceeds
and distributions have not included a return of capital.&nbsp;&nbsp;CIC has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from
available sources to make distributions.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><SUP>1</SUP>&nbsp;Total investment return-net
asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held CIC&rsquo;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)&nbsp;the beginning
period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii)&nbsp;the net asset value per share on the last day of the period
of (A)&nbsp;one share plus (B)&nbsp;any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii)&nbsp;the
value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes
that monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with CIC&rsquo;s distribution reinvestment plan then in effect. The total
investment return-net asset value does not consider the effect of the sales load from the sale of CIC&rsquo;s common stock. Total returns
covering less than a full year are not annualized.</P>
