Credit & Capital Structure Analyst

CĪON prices $125M 7.50% notes with 2031 maturity under shelf.

CĪON Investment Corporation has arranged a public issuance of $125.0 million of 7.50% Notes due 2031, with a potential additional $18.75 million through an underwriters’ overallotment option. This adds a defined-maturity, fixed-rate layer to the company’s funding mix.

The notes are issued via an effective Form N-2 shelf, using preliminary and final prospectus supplements each dated February 2, 2026. An underwriting agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. as representative of the underwriters governs the transaction terms and closing conditions.

The closing is expected on February 9, 2026, subject to customary conditions, so actual impact depends on successful completion and any exercise of the overallotment option. Subsequent disclosures in future company filings may provide more detail on how this debt fits into the broader capital structure.
