SuRo Capital Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net Asset Value of $6.94 Per Share as of June 30, 2024

Executed Purchase Agreement for 6.50% Convertible Notes Due 2029

Board Approved Note Repurchase Program Up To $35.0 Million

NEW YORK, NY, August 7, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net assets totaled approximately $162.3 million, or $6.94 per share, at June 30, 2024, as compared to $7.17 per share at March 31, 2024 and $7.35 per share at June 30, 2023.

“The second quarter was broadly positive for the U.S. economy and equity markets as investors became increasingly confident in the prospect of rate cuts later in the year. However, as of late last week, the market has become volatile due to a confluence of domestic and global factors leading to a sharp change in investor sentiment. Despite these fluctuations in the broader public markets, in the second quarter, private technology companies continued to see increasing interest from investors,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.

Mr. Klein continued, “As we have previously mentioned, with nearly $55.0 million in investable capital, we remain incredibly enthusiastic about our investment pipeline. During the second quarter, we completed a $10.0 million investment in Canva, Inc., a leading design software and collaboration platform with over 170 million monthly users, and a $15.0 million investment in CW Opportunity 2 LP, an SPV invested in CoreWeave, Inc., an AI cloud computing provider offering a suite of NVIDIA GPUs on top of its fast and flexible infrastructure. We believe that these investments strengthen our already well-positioned existing portfolio for the re-opening of the IPO window.”

“We are pleased to announce our Board of Directors has approved a repurchase program of up to $35.0 million for our 6.00% Notes due 2026. Additionally, the Board approved up to $75.0 million of private 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029, with an initial issuance of up to $25.0 million. We believe the refinancing of a portion of our current debt to a longer-dated convertible instrument with favorable terms strengthens our balance sheet,” Mr. Klein continued.

“As we have consistently demonstrated, SuRo Capital is committed to initiatives that enhance shareholder value, and we believe the market is currently undervaluing our portfolio. Given the discount our stock has traded at compared to net asset value per share, we believe our recently completed Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer was an efficient and accretive deployment of capital,” concluded Mr. Klein.

Investment Portfolio as of June 30, 2024

At June 30, 2024, SuRo Capital held positions in 39 portfolio companies – 35 privately held and 4 publicly held, some of which may be subject to certain lock-up provisions – with an aggregate fair value of approximately $182.9 million. The Company’s top five portfolio company investments accounted for approximately 49% of the total portfolio at fair value as of June 30, 2024.

Convertible Note Purchase Agreement

On August 6, 2024, SuRo Capital entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the purchaser identified therein (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which we may issue up to a maximum of $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, up to $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Initial Notes”). Thereafter, upon mutual agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, we may issue additional Convertible Notes for sale in subsequent offerings (the “Additional Notes”), or issue additional notes with modified pricing terms (the “New Notes”), in the aggregate for both the Additional Notes and the New Notes, up to a maximum of $50.0 million in one or more private offerings. The Purchaser will acquire, and we will issue, up to $25.0 million of the Initial Notes on or about August 14, 2024 (the “Initial Closing Date”), and thereafter at such time and date as the Purchaser and we mutually agree to purchase and sell any Additional Notes.

Interest on the Convertible Notes will be paid quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30, at a rate of 6.50% per year, beginning September 30, 2024. The Convertible Notes will mature on August 14, 2029 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after August 6, 2027 upon the fulfillment of certain conditions. The Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at the Purchaser's sole discretion at an initial conversion rate of 129.0323 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. The net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness, make investments in accordance with our investment objective and investment strategy, and for other general corporate purposes. The Note Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company.

Note Repurchase Program

On August 6, 2024, SuRo Capital’s Board of Directors approved a discretionary note repurchase program (the “Note Repurchase Program”) which allows the Company to repurchase up to 46.67%, or $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount, of our 6.00% Notes due 2026 through open market purchases, including block purchases, in such manner as will comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As of August 7, 2024, we had not repurchased any of the 6.00% Notes due 2026 under the Note Repurchase Program.

Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer

On February 14, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a modified Dutch Auction tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than $4.00 and not greater than $5.00 in $0.10 increments, using available cash. In accordance with the Tender Offer, following the expiration of the Tender Offer at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on April 1, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares at a price of $4.70 per share, representing 7.9% of its outstanding shares. The per share purchase price of properly tendered shares represents 65.6% of net asset value per share as of March 31, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market, provided it complies with the prohibitions under its insider trading policies and procedures and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Exchange Act.

Since inception of the Share Repurchase Program in August 2017, SuRo Capital has repurchased over 6.0 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $39.3 million. This does not include repurchases under various tender offers during this time period.
