<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">NEW YORK, NY (September 8, 2021)&nbsp;&ndash;
CION Investment Corporation (&ldquo;CIC&rdquo;), a leading publicly registered&nbsp;non-traded business development company, announced
today the results of its reconvened Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 7, 2021 (&ldquo;Reconvened Annual Meeting&rdquo;).
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders was initially called to order on July 8, 2021, and was subsequently adjourned until August 9, 2021,
and again until September 7, 2021 to allow shareholders additional time to vote on certain matters at each meeting.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">CIC is pleased to announce that at the Reconvened
Annual Meeting, the five proposals comprising Proposal 2 (&ldquo;Listing Charter Amendment Proposals&rdquo;) that collectively amend and
restate CIC&rsquo;s charter as described in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;)
on May 13, 2021 (&ldquo;Proxy Statement&rdquo;), and which will become effective upon the listing of CIC&rsquo;s shares of common stock
(&ldquo;Listing&rdquo;) on the New York Stock Exchange (&ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;), were each approved.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Accordingly, CIC has commenced the final steps
to prepare for the Listing. CIC anticipates that its shares of common stock will commence trading on the NYSE with the ticker symbol &ldquo;CION&rdquo;
within the next 30 days. CIC has engaged Wells Fargo Securities LLC (&ldquo;Wells Fargo&rdquo;) to serve as lead advisor to CIC in connection
with the Listing. There can be no assurance that CIC will be able to complete the Listing in any certain timeframe or at all.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mark Gatto, co-Chief Executive Officer of CIC,
said, &ldquo;As we have previously stated, we believe listing CIC&rsquo;s shares of common stock on the NYSE will bring numerous benefits
to shareholders, including enhanced liquidity of their shares and a fee structure more in line with public company peers. Additionally,
although not assured, we believe that shareholders will benefit from greater shareholder diversification, potential institutional research
coverage and greater availability and access to capital.&rdquo;</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Michael A. Reisner, co-Chief Executive Officer
of CIC, added, &ldquo;We are pleased to have engaged Wells Fargo to assist us in preparing for the Listing. We believe that its experience
and expertise with publicly traded BDCs and financial institutions have been and will continue to be of great benefit as we move forward
with completing the Listing. This is a significant milestone in the life of the fund, and one that we could not have achieved without
the continued support of our shareholders and partners. We thank all our shareholders for their voting and participation as we continue
progressing to a successful listing event.&rdquo;</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">CIC shareholders previously approved Proposals
1, 3, and 4 regarding: (i) the election of Mark Gatto and Michael A. Reisner as directors of CIC; (ii) the approval of an amended and
restated investment advisory agreement between CIC and CION Investment Management, LLC, CIC&rsquo;s investment adviser; and (iii) the
authorization for CIC, with the approval of CIC&rsquo;s board of directors, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">to offer and sell shares</FONT>
of common stock at a price below net asset value during the 12 months following shareholder approval, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">subject
to certain limitations described in the Proxy Statement</FONT>. All Proposals are described in detail in the Proxy Statement.</P>
