Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On August 15, 2013, the board of directors of CĪON Investment Corporation (“CĪON”) declared two regular semi-monthly cash distributions payable in September 2013.  Both distributions will be payable on September 3, 2013, the first, in the amount of $0.029867 per share, to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2013, and the second, at the increased rate of $0.030100 per share, to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2013.
 
Due to an increase in CĪON’s public offering price approved by the board of directors on August 15, 2013 from $10.24 per share to $10.32 per share, CĪON increased the amount of semi-monthly cash distribution payable to shareholders of record from $0.029867 per share to $0.030100 per share to maintain its annual distribution yield at 7.00% (based on the $10.32 per share public offering price).  The increase in the public offering price will be effective as of CĪON’s August 16, 2013 semi-monthly closing and first applied to subscriptions received from August 1, 2013 through August 15, 2013.
  
A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
