Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 28, 2016, CĪON Investment Corporation (“CĪON”) entered into an amended and restated follow-on dealer manager agreement (the “Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement”) with CĪON Investment Management, LLC, CĪON’s investment adviser, and CĪON Securities, LLC, as dealer manager, in connection with CĪON’s follow-on continuous public offering of shares of common stock pursuant to its registration statement on Form N-2, as amended and supplemented (File No. 333-203683).

 

Under the original follow-on dealer manager agreement, dated as of January 25, 2016 (the “Original Dealer Manager Agreement”), the dealer manager receives a dealer manager fee of 3% of the gross offering proceeds as compensation for acting as the dealer manager, and selected broker-dealers receive selling commissions of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of shares sold by such selected broker-dealers in the offering. In addition, the dealer manager, in its sole discretion, may re-allow to any selected broker-dealer up to 1.5% of its dealer manager fee for reimbursement of marketing expenses.

 

Under the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, the (i) dealer manager fee was reduced to 2%; (ii) selling commissions were reduced to up to 3%; and (iii) reallowance amount was reduced to up to 1%. These decreases will become effective on CĪON’s January 4, 2017 weekly closing and will be first applied to subscriptions received from December 28, 2016 through January 3, 2017. No other material terms of the Original Dealer Manager Agreement have been amended in connection with the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.

 

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

As a result of the decrease in selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee as disclosed above, on January 3, 2017, CĪON adjusted its public offering price from $10.10 per share to $9.57 per share, in order to maintain its net offering price of $9.09 per share (net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees).  This adjustment to the public offering price will become effective on CĪON’s January 4, 2017 weekly closing and will be first applied to subscriptions received from December 28, 2016 through January 3, 2017. 

 

Although CĪON adjusted its public offering price on January 3, 2017 from $10.10 per share to $9.57 per share, CĪON will maintain the amount of weekly cash distributions payable to shareholders of $0.014067 per share resulting in an annual distribution yield of 7.65% (based on the $9.57 per share public offering price).
