Neostellar Capital Corp., a business development company, reported a sharp expansion of its balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. Total investments at fair value reached $405.9 million and total assets $420.1 million, up from $225.5 million and $276.0 million at December 31, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net change in net assets resulting from operations was $136.9 million, more than double the prior‑year period, driven by $158.3 million of net unrealized appreciation and $5.9 million of realized gains. These were partly offset by a $27.3 million net investment loss as operating expenses increased to $28.4 million, including $21.7 million of compensation and $2.6 million of professional fees. The second quarter alone produced an $18.7 million decrease in net assets from operations, or a basic loss of $0.72 per share.
Operating activities used $29.8 million of cash and financing activities used $6.3 million, reducing cash and restricted cash from $49.1 million to $12.9 million. The investment portfolio is highly concentrated, with Whoop, Inc. valued at $150.8 million (42.4% of net assets), ARK Type One Deep Ventures Fund at $59.3 million (16.7%), and IH10, LLC at $34.0 million (9.6%).

Total investments at fair value were $405.9 million across 37 portfolio companies.
The quarter showed a net investment loss of $23.4 million, or $(0.90) per share, driven by roughly $20.0 million of accelerated, non-recurring expenses tied to the transition to an externally managed structure. Net realized gains on investments were $5.0 million, the net change in unrealized appreciation was a loss of $0.4 million, and the net decrease in net assets from operations was $(18.7) million, or $(0.72) per share.

During the quarter Neostellar funded the remaining $15.0 million of its $20.0 million TensorWave commitment and invested $9.5 million in ClickHouse. Subsequent to quarter-end, a Magnetar affiliate provided $20.0 million via a 6.50% redeemable promissory note due 2029, which may be repaid in common shares if the company completes transactions raising at least $230.0 million of gross proceeds.

Neostellar Capital Corp., a Maryland business development company formerly known as SuRo Capital Corp., has completed its transition to an externally managed structure and rebranded under the Nasdaq ticker NSLR. A new Investment Advisory Agreement with Neostellar Advisors LLC, a joint venture between company executives and Magnetar Holdings LLC, grants the adviser broad authority to manage the portfolio.
Compensation includes a 1.75% per annum base fee on gross assets plus performance-based incentive fees on income and capital gains from new post‑July 15, 2026 investments only, with hurdle rates of 1.75% per quarter and 7.00% per year. An affiliated Magnetar entity provided a $20,000,000 redeemable promissory note bearing 6.50% interest, maturing in 2029, that must convert into common stock upon a Qualified Fundraising and be repaid at 105% of principal and interest upon a Change of Control.
The board expanded to seven directors and appointed Magnetar Partner Erik Falk as an interested director aligned with this externalization. A new Administration Agreement with an affiliate of the adviser shifts day‑to‑day administrative functions to that firm, reimbursed by Neostellar subject to board oversight.
