Exhibit 99.1

CION INVESTMENT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THE REPAYMENT

OF CERTAIN OUTSTANDING DEBT AND THE CLOSING OF A STRATEGIC JOINT VENTURE TRANSACTION

CION Repays in Full its Public Israel Series

A Notes and JPMorgan Credit Facility

Consistent with its Ongoing Deleveraging Strategy

NEW YORK, NY (September 29, 2026) – CION

Investment Corporation (NYSE: CION) (“CION”) announced today that it has repaid in full the outstanding $114.8 million aggregate

principal amount of its public Israel Series A Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “Series A Notes”), which were listed on the Tel

Aviv Stock Exchange, and that its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, 34th Street Funding, LLC, has repaid in full all outstanding advances

under and terminated its senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “JPM Credit Facility”).

The Series A Notes were repaid at par plus accrued

and unpaid interest on August 31, 2026. The repayment of approximately $200 million of outstanding advances under the JPM Credit Facility

was completed on September 25, 2026, and all security interests on the assets of 34th Street Funding, LLC were released.

Also, on September 17, 2026, the Company closed

a strategic joint venture transaction with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the parties formed Senior Loan Fund Partners,

LLC to invest primarily in senior secured first lien loans to U.S. middle-market companies. The joint venture was capitalized with $125

million in senior secured notes issued by the joint venture and $59.7 million in membership interests in the joint venture. The combined

proceeds were used by the joint venture to acquire a portfolio of senior secured first lien loans from the Company at fair market value

consisting of 20 first lien loans with an aggregate par of approximately $180.3 million and an aggregate fair value of $180.0 million,

resulting in an implied purchase price of 99.8% of par.

After giving effect to these transactions, the

Company’s pro-forma estimated net leverage (defined as total debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments,

divided by net assets) as of June 30, 2026 would have decreased to approximately 1.35x.

Michael A. Reisner, co-Chief Executive

Officer of CION, commented “For the last few months, we have preserved and allocated cash to implement our de-leveraging plan

that we presented to shareholders during our second quarter earnings conference call. We are pleased to inform shareholders

that we were able to execute on our de-leveraging plan within our target date of September 30, 2026.”
