Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 2, 2019, CĪON Investment Corporation (“CIC”) and BCP Special Opportunities Fund I, LP (“BCP”) entered into a limited liability company agreement for purposes of forming, investing in and co-managing CION SOF Funding, LLC (“CION SOF”), a joint venture, which will invest primarily in senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. CIC and BCP contributed a portfolio of loans to CION SOF representing membership equity of approximately $31.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in exchange for 87.5% and 12.5% of the membership interests of CION SOF, respectively. All portfolio and other material decisions regarding CION SOF must be submitted to its board of managers, which is comprised of four members, two of whom were selected by CIC and the other two were selected by BCP. Further, all portfolio and other material decisions require the affirmative vote of at least one board member from CIC and one board member from BCP.

Contemporaneously, CION SOF entered into a loan and servicing agreement with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“MS”), which provides for a revolving loan facility to CION SOF in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000. CION SOF’s obligations to MS under the loan and servicing agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of CION SOF. The obligations of CION SOF under the loan and servicing agreement are non-recourse to CIC, and CIC’s exposure under the loan and servicing agreement is limited to CIC’s investment in CION SOF.
