September 15, 2021, t<FONT STYLE="background-color: white">he board of directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of C&#298;ON Investment Corporation
(&ldquo;CIC&rdquo;) </FONT>authorized CIC to file Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the &ldquo;Reverse Stock Split
Amendment&rdquo;) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (&ldquo;SDAT&rdquo;) to effect a two-to-one
reverse split of CIC&rsquo;s shares of common stock (the &ldquo;Reverse Stock Split&rdquo;)<FONT STYLE="background-color: white">. </FONT>In
anticipation of the potential listing of CIC&rsquo;s shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;), <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">CIC

effect to the Reverse Stock Split, (i) CIC&rsquo;s net asset value per share as of June 30, 2021 would have been $16.34 (instead of $8.17
per share); and (ii) the previously announced (A) fourth quarter regular cash distribution of $0.1324&nbsp;<FONT STYLE="background-color: white">per

the range of $0.07 to $0.10 per share will be paid at a per share distribution amount expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.20. The
Reverse Stock Split Amendment also provides that there was no change in the par value of $0.001 per share as a result of the Reverse Stock
Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not modify the rights or preferences of CIC&rsquo;s common stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">NEW YORK, NY (September 22, 2021)&nbsp;&ndash;
CION Investment Corporation (&ldquo;CIC&rdquo;), a leading publicly registered&nbsp;non-traded business development company, has commenced
the final steps to prepare for the listing of its shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the &ldquo;Listing&rdquo;). Subject
to market conditions and final NYSE approval, CIC currently anticipates its shares will commence trading under the ticker symbol &ldquo;CION&rdquo;
on or around October 5, 2021. 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">Wells Fargo Securities LLC is acting as lead advisor
to CIC in connection with the Listing. Dechert LLP is acting as legal advisor to CIC.</P>

Stock Split</B></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">Separately, CIC reported that its previously announced
2-to-1 reverse stock split became effective on September 21, 2021. As a result of the reverse stock split, every two shares of CIC common
stock issued and outstanding was automatically combined into one share of CIC common stock, with the number of issued and outstanding
shares reduced from 113,916,869 to 56,958,440. As adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split, (i) CIC&rsquo;s net asset value
per share as of June 30, 2021 would have been $16.34 (instead of $8.17 per share); and (ii) the previously announced (A) fourth quarter
regular cash distribution of $0.1324&nbsp;<FONT STYLE="background-color: white">per share</FONT> will be paid at a per share distribution
amount of $0.2648; and (B) year-end special cash distribution expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.10 per share will be paid at
a per share distribution amount expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.20. There was no change in the par value of $0.001 per share
as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split did not modify the rights or preferences of CIC&rsquo;s common
stock.</P>
