Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Joint Venture | Joint Venture CION/EagleTree Partners, LLC On December 21, 2021, the Company formed CION/EagleTree, an off-balance sheet joint venture partnership with ET-BC Debt Opportunities, LP, or ET-BC, which is an affiliate of EagleTree Capital, LP, or EagleTree. EagleTree made a Firm-level investment with proprietary capital. CION/EagleTree jointly pursues debt and equity opportunities, as well as special situation, crossover, subordinated and other junior capital investments that leverages the Company's and EagleTree's combined sourcing and portfolio management capabilities. The Company contributed a portfolio of second lien loans and equity investments and ET-BC contributed proprietary Firm-level cash in exchange for 85% and 15%, respectively, of the senior secured notes, participating preferred equity, and common share interests of CION/EagleTree. The Company and ET-BC are not required to make any additional capital contributions to CION/EagleTree. The Company’s equity investment in CION/EagleTree is not redeemable. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding CION/EagleTree must be submitted to its board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by the Company and the other two were selected by ET-BC. Further, all portfolio and other material decisions require the affirmative vote of at least one board member from the Company and one board member from ET-BC. The Company also serves as administrative agent to CION/EagleTree to provide servicing functions and other administrative services. In certain cases, these servicing functions and other administrative services may be performed by CIM. Amounts charged to CION/EagleTree by the Company for services performed by CIM are netted against amounts the Company is charged by CIM for administrative services. On December 21, 2021, CION/EagleTree issued senior secured notes of $61,629 to the Company and $10,875 to ET-BC, or the CION/EagleTree Notes. The CION/EagleTree Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 14.0% per year and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of CION/EagleTree. On November 16, 2023, the Company purchased a portion of the CION/EagleTree Notes held by ET-BC. As a result, as of March 31, 2025, the Company held $36,037 and ET-BC held $2,965 of the CION/Eagletree Notes. The obligations of CION/EagleTree under the CION/EagleTree Notes are non-recourse to the Company. In accordance with ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, the Company determined that CION/EagleTree is not a variable interest entity, or VIE, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate CION/EagleTree. The Company's maximum exposure to losses from CION/EagleTree is limited to its investment in CION/EagleTree.
