FORWARD-LOOKING

STATEMENTS

This

press release may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements

by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate,"

"project," "target," "estimate," "intend," "continue," or "believe" or the

negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully

because they discuss CION’s plans, strategies, prospects and expectations concerning its business, operating results, financial

condition and other similar matters. These statements represent CION’s belief regarding future events that, by their nature, are

uncertain and outside of CION’s control. There are likely to be events in the future, however, that CION is not able to predict

accurately or control. Any forward-looking statement made by CION in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

Factors or events that could cause CION’s actual results to differ, possibly materially from its expectations, include, but are

not limited to, the risks, uncertainties and other factors CION identifies in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking

Statements" in filings CION makes with the SEC, and it is not possible for CION to predict or identify all of them. CION undertakes

no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,

except as required by law.

in this press release is summary information only and should be read in conjunction with CION’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which

CION filed with the SEC on April 6, 2026, as well as CION’s other reports filed with the SEC. A copy of CION’s Current Report
