Price Chart
Executive Summary
CION Investment Corp formed a joint venture, Senior Loan Fund Partners, LLC, with institutional investors to invest in senior secured first-lien loans to U.S. middle-market companies. CION contributed a $180 million loan portfolio and received $132.3 million in net proceeds, which it will use to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. The transaction is a capital-efficient way for CION to recycle capital while retaining an 80% equity stake and management control.
Key Facts
- CION formed a joint venture with institutional investors capitalized with $125.0M in senior secured notes (issued at 98.25% of par) and $59.7M in membership interests.
- CION holds 80% of the common LLC interests; investors hold 20% as preferred LLC interests with an 11.50% cumulative annual dividend.
- The JV acquired 20 first-lien loans from CION with an aggregate par of ~$180.3M and fair value of $180.0M (99.8% of par).
- CION received net proceeds of ~$132.3M, to be used to repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes.
- The JV's senior secured notes bear interest at 3-month SOFR + 4.75% (1.00% SOFR floor), have a 7-year maturity, and are rated investment grade.
- The JV has a 2-year investment period; after that, a 100% cash flow sweep directs excess cash to repay the notes.
- CION and investors each designate two managers to the JV board; unanimous approval of at least one manager from each side is required for material decisions.
Financial Impact
CION received $132.3M in net proceeds from selling a $180M loan portfolio to the JV, reducing its debt and freeing up capital for new investments.
Risk Factors
- The JV's preferred LLC Interests carry an 11.50% cumulative dividend, which could pressure returns if the loan portfolio underperforms.
- CION retains 80% of common equity but has limited governance control (unanimous board approval required), potentially constraining future portfolio decisions.
- The JV's notes are floating-rate (SOFR + 4.75%), exposing CION's residual interest to interest rate risk.
