Exhibit 99.1

HISTORICAL TOTAL INVESTMENT RETURN-NET ASSET VALUE 2020 YTD SINCE INCEPTION (Cumulative) -9.47% 48.05% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE 33.24% WITH SALES CHARGE Total investment return-net asset value is a measure of the change in total value for shareholders who held CIC’s common stock at the beginning and end of the period, including distributions paid or payable during the period. Total investment return-net asset value is presented on a “net” basis and reflects management and incentive fees, offering, organizational and other costs, interest expense on borrowed funds and other related expenses that are borne by investors. Total investment return-net asset value is based on (i) the beginning period net asset value per share on the first day of the period, (ii) the net asset value per share on the last day of the period of (A) one share plus (B) any fractional shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of monthly distributions, and (iii) the value of distributions payable, if any, on the last day of the period. The total investment return-net asset value calculation assumes that monthly cash distributions are reinvested in accordance with CIC’s distribution reinvestment plan then in effect. The total investment return-net asset value does not consider the effect of the sales charge from the sale of CIC’s common stock. The total investment return-net asset value includes the effect of the issuance of shares at a net offering price that is greater than net asset value per share, which causes an increase in net asset value per share. Total returns covering less than a full year are not annualized. FUND OVERVIEW CION Investment Corporation (CIC) is a non-traded business development company, or BDC, that focuses on middle market loans. CIC seeks to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. TARGET INVESTMENTS CIC offers investors the opportunity to invest primarily in: • Senior secured debt • Private and thinly-traded U.S. middle market companies FOR EXISTING INVESTORS ONLY • 1 CION Investment Corporation FUND FACT SHEET | Q2 2020 As of June 30, 2020 * Information is based on the relative fair value of the underlying portfolio holdings.

CASH FLOW OBJECTIVE To provide monthly distributions 2 TAX REPORTING Form 1099 2 • FOR EXISTING INVESTORS ONLY 1 As of June 30, 2020. 2 On March 19, 2020, CIC’s co-chief executive officers determined to temporarily suspend the payment of distributions to shareholders commencing with the month ended April 30, 2020. On July 15, 2020, CIC’s co-chief executive officers determined to recommence the payment of distributions to shareholders in August 2020. Distributions in respect of future months will be reevaluated by management and the Board based on circumstances and expectations existing at the time of consideration. The determination of the tax attributes of CIC’s distributions is made annually as of the end of CIC’s fiscal year based upon its taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. CIC intends to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of its distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on CIC’s common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions. CIC may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to it, including borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from CION Investment Management, LLC (CIM), which is subject to recoupment. To date, distributions have not been paid from offering proceeds and distributions have not included a return of capital. CIC has not established limits on the amount of funds it may use from available sources to make distributions. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on CIC’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if CIC achieves positive investment performance in future periods. There can be no assurance that CIC will be able to pay distributions at all. 3 CIC’s follow-on continuous pubic offering ended on January 25, 2019. $9.00 $9.16$9.17$9.29$9.32$9.40$9.38$9.31$9.22$9.35$9.33$9.13$8.57$8.71$8.79$9.02$9.11$9.07$9.15$9.15$9.14$9.13$9.11$9.06$8.69$8.97789106/2012/196/1912/186/1812/176/1712/166/1612/156/1512/146/1412/136/1312/129/12$8.65$8.54$8.34$8.40$7.29$7.43 Net asset value is determined quarterly and at such other times that an event occurs that materially affects the valuation.

GROWTH OF $10K SINCE INCEPTION (CUMULATIVE)* CION Investment Corporation (without sales charge) S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index The calculations for the Growth of $10,000 Initial Investment are based upon (i) an initial investment of $10,000 in our common stock at the beginning of the period, at a share price of $10.00 per share (with sales charge), and $9.00 per share (without sales charge), (ii) the assumption of reinvestment of monthly distributions in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan then in effect, (iii) the sale of the entire investment position at the net asset value per share on the last day of the period, and (iv) the distributions declared and payable to shareholders, if any, on the last day of the period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The data provided is for informational purposes only. Initial shareholders who subscribed to the offering in December 2012 with an initial investment of $10,000 and an initial purchase price equal to $9.00 per share (public offering price without sales charge) have seen an annualized return of 5.34% and a cumulative total return of 48.05% through June 30, 2020.

6 • CIC Portfolio Holdings 1. Information is based on the relative fair value of the underlying portfolio holdings. 2. London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, is an interest rate at which banks can borrow funds, in marketable size, from other banks in the London interbank market. Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or EURIBOR, is an interest rate at which banks can borrow funds, in marketable size, from other banks in the European interbank market. Residual cash flow is excess cash flow after payment of any fees/expenses and obligations related to senior notes, including interest and principal repayments. 3. Rate is the total interest rate on the loan, often based on LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus a margin, or residual cash flow. 4. Debt with a LIBOR or EURIBOR floor pay an interest rate of LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus a margin, so long as LIBOR or EURIBOR remains above the specified floor level. If however, LIBOR or EURIBOR falls below the floor, the interest rate is the floor level plus the applicable margin. Data excludes short term investments, which represent an investment in a fund that invests in highly liquid investments with average original maturity dates of three months or less. Percentages represent approximate figures. FOR EXISTING INVESTORS ONLY. This portfolio holdings fact sheet reflects CIC’s holdings as of the date indicated herein.
