Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 13, 2025, Murray Hill Funding II, LLC (“MHF II”), a wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of CĪON Investment Corporation (“CION”), entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”), as lender, Murray Hill Funding, LLC, CION Investment Management, LLC (“CIM”), CION’s investment adviser, as collateral manager, US Bank Trust Company National Association, as trustee, collateral administrator and revolving note agent, and US Bank National Association, as account bank (together, “US Bank”), under which the parties agreed to terminate the existing senior secured repurchase facility with UBS, including, without limitation, the Global Master Repurchase Agreement (2000 version) dated as of May 15, 2017, as well as the annexes thereto and each confirmation and transaction supplement thereunder, the Second Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 17, 2020, and the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-R Notes previously purchased by UBS from MHF II under such agreements (collectively, the “Repurchase Facility”).

Simultaneously with terminating the Repurchase Facility, MHF II, as borrower, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with UBS, as administrative agent, Murray Hill Funding, LLC, as equity holder, CIM, as collateral manager, each of the lenders from time-to-time party thereto, and US Bank, as collateral agent and document custodian. Under the Loan Agreement, the floating interest rate payable by MHF II on all advances of up to $125,000,000 was reduced by 0.45% per year, from the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread of 3.20% per year to SOFR plus a credit spread of 2.75% per year. All outstanding advances must be repaid by MHF II on or prior to the maturity date of February 13, 2028. MHF II may prepay advances pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, subject to a 2.0% premium in certain circumstances. In addition, MHF II will be subject to a non-usage fee of 0.75% per year on the amount, if any, of the aggregate principal amount available under the Loan Agreement that has not been borrowed up to the minimum utilization amount of $100,000,000.

CION previously contributed loans and other corporate debt securities to MHF II in exchange for 100% of the membership interests of MHF II and may contribute additional loans and other corporate debt securities to MHF II in the future. MHF II’s obligations to UBS under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of MHF II. The obligations of MHF II under the Loan Agreement are non-recourse to CION, and CION’s exposure under the Loan Agreement is limited to the value of CION’s investment in MHF II.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, MHF II made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with a borrowing base requirement, various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. MHF II incurred certain customary costs and expenses in connection with the Termination Agreement and the Loan Agreement. 

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement and the Loan Agreement as set forth in this Item 1.01 is a summary only and is qualified in all respects by the provisions of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of a press release announcing the foregoing is also attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
