SuRo
Capital Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of SuRo Capital Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”)
including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows,
and changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2025, the financial highlights (presented in Note 8) for the year then ended,
and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the financial highlights for the year
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation
of investments owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian, loan agents, and borrowers; when replies were not
received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation
of Investments – Level 3 Investments in Preferred Stock, Common Stock, Debt Investments and Options
As
described in Note 4 to the financial statements, approximately 98.1% of the Company’s $221 million total investments in securities
as of December 31, 2025, represents investments in Level 3 preferred stock, common stock, debt investments and options issued by private
companies whose fair value, as disclosed by management, is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Management applied significant
judgment in determining the fair value of these Level 3 investments, which involved the use of significant unobservable inputs with respect
to the revenue and/or other multiples utilized, liquidation value, financing risk, term to expiration and discount rates.
The
principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of Level 3 investments in preferred
stock, common stock, debt investments and options is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment involved by management in determining
the fair value of these Level 3 investments, including the use of various valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs, which
in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing audit procedures and evaluating the audit evidence
obtained relating to the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs.
Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our principal audit procedures included, among others:
(i)
testing the completeness and accuracy of management’s valuations, including evaluating the appropriateness of management’s
methodologies, evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions and significant unobservable inputs, including revenue and/or other multiples
utilized, liquidation value, financing risk, term to expiration and discount rates; and
(ii)
the involvement of professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in the assessment of the fair values for a sample of
investments, including reviewing the valuation methodologies, assessing the assumptions utilized in developing the estimates, and evaluating
the reasonableness of management’s conclusions in deriving the valuations.

through direct offerings of the prospective portfolio companies, transactions on secondary marketplaces for private companies, negotiations
with selling stockholders, investment funds, or through SPVs and other investment funds for the purpose of investing in securities of
a single private issuer. In addition, the Company may invest in private credit and in founders equity, founders warrants, and private
investment in public equity transactions of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The Company may also invest
on an opportunistic basis in select publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment
criteria, subject to any applicable limitations under the 1940 Act.

NOTE
2— SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Regulation S-X under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is an investment company following the specialized accounting
and reporting guidance specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies . In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all
of which were of a normal recurring nature, were considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements
for the period and have been included.
Basis
of Consolidation
Under
Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting
Guide for Investment Companies, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company, a controlled
operating company that provides substantially all of its services and benefits to the Company, and certain entities established for tax
purposes where the Company holds a 100% interest.
The
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of the Taxable Subsidiaries, GCL, SuRo Capital
Sports, 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP, and SRCI Advisors, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiaries. GCL was formed to originate portfolio loan
investments within the state of California. SuRo Capital Sports was formed to focus on investing in the sports betting sector. 1789 Capital
Nirvana II LP is a SPV in which SuRo Capital holds the sole limited partnership interest and was formed to invest in the Common Shares
of Plaid, Inc. SRCI Advisors, LLC was formed to provide investment management services to third parties; as of December 31, 2025, SRCI
Advisors has not commenced operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company
operates as a single operating segment.
The
Company also consolidates entities that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is
the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses or a right to receive benefits from the entity.
The Company determined that 1789 Capital Nirvana II LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, 1789 Capital Nirvana
II LP is consolidated by the Company.
Segments
SuRo
Capital has determined that it has a single operating segment in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”).
The Company operates as a single segment with a principal investment objective to maximize our portfolio’s total return, principally
by seeking capital gains on our equity and equity-related investments, and to a lesser extent, income from debt investments. The Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Investment Committee collectively perform the function that allocates resources
and assesses performance, and thus together, serve as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). Among
other metrics, the CODM uses Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations as a primary GAAP profit or loss metric used in making
operating decisions, which can be found on the Consolidated Statement of Operations along with significant expenses. The measure of segment
assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make a number of
significant estimates. These include estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and other estimates that affect the
reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of
certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates may occur in the near term. The
Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ materially from such estimates.

Uncertainties
and Risk Factors
The
Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties in the nature of its operations, as well as vulnerability due to certain concentrations.
Refer to “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties inherent
in the nature of the Company’s operations. Refer to “Note 4—Investments at Fair Value” for an overview of the
Company’s industry and geographic concentrations.
Investments
at Fair Value
The
Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP and the AICPA’s Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies.
The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to
classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value
into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
1 —Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has
the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level
2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at
the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level
3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and
the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. The majority of the Company’s investments are Level 3 investments and are subject
to a high degree of judgment and uncertainty in determining fair value.
When
the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement
is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a Level
3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, gains and losses
for such assets and liabilities categorized within the Level 3 table set forth in “Note 4—Investments at Fair Value”
may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
A
review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may
result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
are reported as transfers in/out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the measurement period in which the reclassifications
occur. Refer to “Leveling Policy” below for a detailed discussion of the leveling of the Company’s financial assets
or liabilities and events that may cause a reclassification within the fair value hierarchy.

Securities
for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at the most recently available closing price of such security
as of the valuation date. If there are legal or contractual restrictions on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35,
as modified by ASU 2022-03, should be incorporated into the security’s fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security
that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security, the Company will consider those restrictions in the fair value
determination of that security. Contractual sale restrictions on the sale or use of a security which are an entity-specific characteristic,
rather than a security-specific characteristic (as discussed in ASU 2022-03), are not considered in the fair value determinations for
such securities. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments from pricing services, brokers or dealers
in order to value assets. When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to GAAP to determine
the fair value of the security. If determined to be adequate, the Company uses the quote obtained.
Securities
for which reliable market quotations are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology,
or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of management, the Company’s Board of Directors or the valuation committee
of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Valuation Committee”), does not reliably represent fair value, shall each
be valued as follows:
1. The
quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially
valued by the internal investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment;
2. Preliminary
valuation estimates are then documented and discussed with senior management;
3. For
all investments for which there are no readily available market quotations, the Valuation
Committee engages an independent third-party valuation firm to conduct independent appraisals,
review management’s preliminary valuations and make its own independent assessment;
4. The
Valuation Committee applies the appropriate valuation methodology to each portfolio asset
in a consistent manner, considers the inputs provided by management and the independent third-party
valuation firm, discusses the valuations and recommends to the Company’s Board of Directors
a fair value for each investment in the portfolio; and
5. The
Company’s Board of Directors then discusses the valuations recommended by the Valuation
Committee and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio.
In
making a good faith determination of the fair value of investments, the Board of Directors applies valuation methodologies consistent
with industry practice. Valuation methods utilized include, but are not limited to, the following: comparisons to prices from secondary
market transactions; venture capital financings; public offerings; purchase or sales transactions; analysis of financial ratios and valuation
metrics of portfolio companies that issued such private equity securities to peer companies that are public; analysis of the portfolio
company’s most recent financial statements, forecasts and the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and other relevant
factors. The Company assigns a weighting based upon the relevance of each method to assist the Board of Directors in determining the
fair value of each investment.
For
investments that are not publicly traded or that do not have readily available market quotations, the Valuation Committee generally engages
an independent valuation firm to provide an independent valuation, which the Company’s Board of Directors considers, among other
factors, in making its fair value determinations for these investments. For the current and prior fiscal year, the Valuation Committee
engaged an independent valuation firm to perform valuations of 100% of the Company’s investments for which there were no readily
available market quotations.
Due
to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these
estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed,
and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events
that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change
in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Equity
Investments
Equity
investments for which market quotations are readily available in an active market are generally valued at the most recently available
closing market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. Equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject
to sales restrictions due to an initial public offering (“IPO”) by the portfolio company will be classified as Level 1. Any
other equity investments with readily available market quotations that are subject to sales restrictions that would transfer to market
participants who would buy the security may be valued at a discount for a lack of marketability (“DLOM”) to the most recently
available closing market prices. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 assets. The DLOM used is generally based upon
the market value of publicly traded put options with similar terms. For equity securities with readily available market quotations that
are subject to entity-specific contractual sale restrictions, rather than security-specific contractual sale restrictions, if such entity-specific
contractual sale restrictions first applied or were modified on or after December 15, 2023, the restrictions are not considered in the
determination of fair value for that security.
The
fair values of the Company’s equity investments for which market quotations are not readily available are determined based on various
factors and are classified as Level 3 assets. To determine the fair value of a portfolio company for which market quotations are not
readily available, the Board of Directors applies the appropriate respective valuation methodology for the asset class or portfolio holding,
which may involve analyzing the relevant portfolio company’s most recently available historical and projected financial results,
public market comparables, and other factors. The Board of Directors may also consider other events, including the transaction in which
the Company acquired its securities, subsequent equity sales by the portfolio company, and mergers or acquisitions affecting the portfolio
company. In addition, the Board of Directors may consider the trends of the portfolio company’s basic financial metrics from the
time of its original investment until the measurement date, with material improvement of these metrics indicating a possible increase
in fair value, while material deterioration of these metrics may indicate a possible reduction in fair value.
In
determining the fair value of equity or equity-linked securities (including simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) notes
and warrants to purchase common or preferred stock) in a portfolio company, the Board of Directors considers the rights, preferences
and limitations of such securities. When equity-linked securities expire worthless, any cost associated with these positions is recognized
as a realized loss on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In the event
these securities are exercised into common or preferred stock, the cost associated with these securities is reassigned to the cost basis
of the new common or preferred stock. These conversions are noted as non-cash operating items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows.
Debt
Investments
Given
the nature of the Company’s current debt investments (excluding U.S. Treasuries), which are principally convertible and promissory
notes issued by venture capital-backed portfolio companies, these investments are classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known
or accessible market or market indices for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company’s debt investments
are valued at estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Options
The
Company’s Board of Directors determines the fair value of options based on methodologies that can include discounted cash flow
analyses, option pricing models, comparable analyses and other techniques as deemed appropriate. If the options are publicly traded,
in accordance with our leveling policy, the Company prices the options at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement
date. All other options investments are generally classified as Level 3 assets because there is no known or accessible market or market
indices for these investment securities to be traded or exchanged. The Company’s options are valued at estimated fair value as
determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Investments
in SPVs and Fund Structures
The
Company invests through SPVs and Fund structures, which may hold either a single underlying investment or a portfolio of underlying
investments. The Company’s interest in these structures is generally proportionate to its capital contributions, and
distributions from the underlying investment(s) are made in accordance with that ownership. These investments are recorded at
estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, and are presented in the Consolidated
Schedule of Investments. If available, the Company may utilize the NAV of an SPV or Fund to substantiate its fair value
determination. SPVs and Fund structures may incur fees, expenses, or tax liabilities associated with their underlying investments,
which can impact the fair value of the Company’s interest. Additionally, these investments may be subject to restrictions on
redemption, transfer, or sale.
For
certain Fund structures, including those in which fair value is not readily determinable, the Company may apply the practical expedient
provided under ASC Topic 820 for entities that calculate net asset value (“NAV”) per share or its equivalent, using NAV as
a practical measure of fair value without adjustment.
Special
Purpose Acquisition Companies
The
Company’s Board of Directors measures its SPAC sponsor investments at fair value, which is equivalent to cost until a SPAC transaction
is announced. After a SPAC transaction is announced, the Company’s Board of Directors will determine the fair value of SPAC investments
based on fair value analyses that can include option pricing models, probability-weighted expected return method analyses, and other
techniques as deemed appropriate. Upon completion of the SPAC transaction, the Board of Directors utilizes the public share price of
the entity, less a DLOM if there are security-specific contractual sale restrictions, or the shares or warrants are confirmed unregistered.
The Company’s SPAC investments are valued at estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Portfolio
Company Investment Classification
The
Company is a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company classifies its investments by level of control.
“Control investments” are investments in companies that the Company is presumed to control under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940
Act. Under the 1940 Act, any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25%
of the outstanding voting securities of a company is presumed to control such company. “Affiliate investments” are investments
in companies that are “affiliated persons” of the Company under Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “affiliated
person” includes any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote, 5% or more, but not more
than 25%, of the outstanding voting securities of such company. Refer to the Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024 for details regarding the nature and composition of the Company’s investment portfolio.
Leveling
Policy
The
portfolio companies in which the Company invests may offer their shares in IPOs. The Company’s shares in such portfolio companies
are typically subject to lock-up agreements for 180 days following the IPO. Upon the IPO date, the Company transfers its investment from
Level 3 to Level 1 due to the presence of an active market, or Level 2 if limited by the lock-up agreement. The Company prices the investment
at the closing price on a public exchange as of the measurement date. In situations where there are legal or contractual restrictions
on the sale or use of such security that under ASC 820-10-35 (as modified by ASU 2022-03) should be incorporated into the security’s
fair value measurement as a characteristic of the security that would transfer to market participants who would buy the security, the
Company will classify the investment as Level 2 subject to an appropriate DLOM to reflect the restrictions upon sale. The Company transfers
investments between levels based on the fair value at the beginning of the measurement period in accordance with FASB ASC 820. For investments
transferred out of Level 3 due to an IPO, the Company transfers these investments based on their fair value at the IPO date.
Securities
Transactions
Securities
transactions are accounted for on the date the transaction for the purchase or sale of the securities is entered into by the Company
( i.e. , the trade date). Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of
the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale and incurs an obligation
to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively.

Valuation
of Other Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s other, non-investment financial instruments, consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable,
and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Cash
The
Company custodies its cash with Western Alliance Trust Company, N.A., and may place cash in demand deposit accounts with other high-quality
financial institutions. The cash held in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Company
believes the risk of loss associated with any uninsured balance is remote.
Restricted
Cash
Restricted
Cash consists of amounts that are held in a separate account and are subject to specific contractual restrictions that limit their availability
for general corporate use. These funds are not readily available for use in the Company’s general operations and are segregated
from unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Escrow
Proceeds Receivable
A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments are held in escrow as a recourse for indemnity claims that may arise under
the sale agreement or other related transaction contingencies. Amounts held in escrow are held at estimated realizable value and included
in net realized gains/(losses) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in which they occurred and
are adjusted as needed. Any remaining escrow proceeds balances from these transactions reasonably expected to be received are reflected
on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as escrow proceeds receivable. Escrow proceeds receivable resulting from contingent
consideration are to be recognized when the amount of the contingent consideration becomes realized or realizable. As of December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 0 and $ 45,298 , respectively, in escrow proceeds receivable.
Deferred
Financing Costs
The
Company records fees and expenses incurred in connection with financing or capital raising activities relating to the Company’s
shelf registration statement on Form N-2 as deferred financing costs. The Company also incurred additional offering costs in connection
with its 6.00 % Notes due 2026. The Company defers these offering costs until capital is raised pursuant to the shelf registration statement
or as the shelf registration statement expires. For equity capital raised, the offering costs reduce paid-in capital resulting from the
offering. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the respective life of the financing instrument.
For modifications to a financing instrument, any unamortized origination costs are expensed.
The
Company records fees and expenses incurred in connection with debt capital raises as deferred debt issuance costs. Such costs are reflected
in the carrying value of the related debt instrument, and not the Company’s deferred financing costs. For debt capital raised,
the associated offering costs are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the life of
the debt instrument. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred financing costs of $ 508,310 and $ 526,261 ,
respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Operating
Leases & Related Deposits
The
Company accounts for its operating leases as prescribed by ASC 842, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use
asset on the balance sheet, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a corresponding lease liability
for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The lease expense is presented as a single lease cost that is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the lease. Non-lease components (maintenance, property tax, insurance and parking) are not included in the lease
cost. On September 1, 2024, the Company extended the previous operating lease for office space for an additional term of three years
and three months, with an estimated commencement date of January 1, 2025 and expiring March 31, 2028. On February 7, 2025, the Company
executed a commencement letter, upon which the lease term was amended to begin on February 13, 2025 and expiring on May 12, 2028. The
Company has recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for the operating lease obligation. These amounts have
been discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. Refer to “Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies— Operating Leases
and Related Deposits ” for further detail.
Stock-based
Compensation
Using
the fair value recognition provisions as prescribed by ASC 718, Stock Compensation , stock-based compensation cost is measured
at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Determining
the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options and the
expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material
effect on the Company’s financial results. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Refer to “Note 11—Stock-Based
Compensation” for further detail.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes gains or losses on the sale of investments using the specific identification method. The Company recognizes interest
income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. The Company recognizes dividend income on
the ex-dividend date.
Investment
Transaction Costs and Escrow Deposits
Commissions
and other costs associated with an investment transaction, including legal expenses not reimbursed by the portfolio company, are included
in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales. The Company makes certain acquisitions on secondary markets,
which may involve making deposits to escrow accounts until certain conditions are met, including the underlying private company’s
right of first refusal. If the underlying private company does not exercise or assign its right of first refusal and all other conditions
are met, then the funds in the escrow account are delivered to the seller and the account is closed. Such transactions would be reflected
on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as escrow deposits. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
had no escrow deposits.
Unrealized
Appreciation or Depreciation of Investments
Unrealized
appreciation or depreciation is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment.
U.S.
Federal and State Income Taxes
The
Company elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify for tax treatment as
a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely
distribute to its stockholders at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), including payment-in-kind
interest income, as defined by the Code, and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of its gross tax-exempt interest
income over certain disallowed deductions) for each taxable year (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”). Depending on the
level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward into the next tax year ICTI in excess of current year dividend
distributions. Any such carryforward ICTI must be distributed on or before December 31 of the subsequent tax year to which it was carried
forward.

If
the Company meets the Annual Distribution Requirement, but does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year
a sum of (1) 98% of its net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period
ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years (the “Excise Tax
Avoidance Requirement”), it generally will be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which the Excise Tax Avoidance
Requirement exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual
taxable income will exceed estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company will accrue excise taxes,
if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective
excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.
So
long as the Company qualifies and maintains its tax treatment as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal and state income
taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax
liability related to income earned by the RIC will represent obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. Included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, the Taxable
Subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax imposed at corporate rates on their income, regardless of whether the Company is
a RIC. These Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expenses as a
result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. Such income tax expenses and deferred taxes, if any, will be reflected in the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.
If
it is not treated as a RIC, the Company will be taxed as a regular corporation (a “C Corporation”) under Subchapter C of
the Code for such taxable year. If the Company has previously qualified as a RIC but is subsequently unable to qualify for treatment
as a RIC, and certain amelioration provisions are not applicable, the Company would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income (including
its net capital gains) at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would it
be required to make distributions. Distributions, including distributions of net long-term capital gain, would generally be taxable to
its stockholders as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject
to certain limitations under the Code, corporate stockholders would be eligible to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to
such dividend; non-corporate stockholders would generally be able to treat such dividends as “qualified dividend income,”
which is subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income tax. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated
earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis, and any
remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. In order to requalify as a RIC, in addition to the other requirements discussed
above, the Company would be required to distribute all of its previously undistributed earnings attributable to the period it failed
to qualify as a RIC by the end of the first year that it intends to requalify for tax treatment as a RIC. If the Company fails to requalify
for tax treatment as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, it may be subject to regular corporate tax on any net built-in
gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses
that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Company had been liquidated) that it elects to recognize on requalification
or when recognized over the next five years. Refer to “Note 9—Income Taxes” for further details.
Per
Share Information
Net
change in net assets resulting from operations per basic common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding
for the period presented. Diluted net change in net assets resulting from operations per common share is computed by dividing net increase/(decrease)
in net assets resulting from operations for the period adjusted to include the pre-tax effects of interest incurred on potentially dilutive
securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period.
When applicable, the Company uses the if-converted method in accordance with FASB ASC 260 , Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”),
to determine the number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Refer to “Note 6—Net Change in Net Assets Resulting
from Operations per Common Share—Basic and Diluted” for further detail.

Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest
and Similar Awards.” ASU 2024-01 clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope
of Topic 718 or not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024-01 is currently effective
for public entities. The Company adopted this provision as of the effective date. However, ASU 2024-01 does not have a material impact
on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income
Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires more disaggregated information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this provision as of the effective date and has included the expanded disclosures
in Note 9 — Income Taxes.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure
Update and Simplification Initiative.” ASU 2023-06 amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics
in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification including requiring investment companies to disclose the components of capital on the balance
sheet. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will become effective on the date which the SEC’s removal of related disclosures from Regulation
S-X or Regulation S-K become effective, but no later than June 30, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
However, it does not expect ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on the Company’s future Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures”, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee
compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and
retrospective application is permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of the new guidance. However, it does not expect ASU
2024-03 to have a material impact on the Company’s future Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options”, which amends ASC 470-20
to clarify the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The amendments are
effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is still assessing
the impact of the new guidance.
In
May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810) - Determining the Accounting
Acquirer in the acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity”, which requires an entity to determine the accounting acquirer by considering
the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is still assessing the impact of the new guidance.
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company
as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards and any that are not yet effective
will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.
NOTE
3— RELATED-PARTY ARRANGEMENTS
The
Company’s executive officers and directors serve or may serve as officers, directors, or managers of entities that operate in a
line of business similar to the Company’s, including new entities that may be formed in the future. Accordingly, they may have
obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of the Company or the Company’s
stockholders.

The
1940 Act prohibits the Company from participating in certain negotiated co-investments with certain affiliates unless it receives an
order from the SEC permitting it to do so. As a BDC, the Company is prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions
with certain of its affiliates without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, including its independent directors, and, in some
cases, the SEC. The affiliates with which the Company may be prohibited from transacting include its officers, directors, and employees
and any person controlling or under common control with the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
In
the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related-party
transactions. To ensure that the Company does not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with the Company,
the Company has implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby the Company’s executive officers screen each of the
Company’s transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, the Company, companies controlled
by the Company, and the Company’s executive officers and directors.
The
Company’s investment in Churchill Sponsor VII LLC, the sponsor of Churchill Capital Corp. VII, a SPAC, constituted a “remote-affiliate”
transaction for purposes of the 1940 Act in light of the fact that Mark D. Klein, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
and President, has a non-controlling interest in the entity that controls Churchill Sponsor VII LLC, and is a non-controlling member
of the board of directors of Churchill Capital Corp. VII. In addition, Mr. Klein’s brother, Michael Klein, is a control person
of such Churchill entities. On August 18, 2024, Churchill Capital Corp. VII announced that it would not consummate an initial business
combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Company realized
a loss on the entirety of its Churchill Sponsor VII LLC common share units and warrant units in the amount of $ 300,000 .
The
Company’s investment in Skillsoft Corp. (f/k/a Software Luxembourg Holding S.A.) (“Skillsoft”) constituted a “remote-affiliate”
transaction for purposes of the 1940 Act in light of the fact that Mr. Klein has a non-controlling interest in the entity that controlled
Churchill Sponsor II LLC, the sponsor of Churchill Capital Corp. II, a SPAC, and was a non-controlling member of the board of directors
of Churchill Capital Corp. II, through which the Company executed a private investment in public equity transaction in order to acquire
common shares of Skillsoft alongside the merger of Skillsoft and Churchill Capital Corp II. In addition, Mr. Klein’s brother, Michael
Klein, was a control person of such Churchill entities. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s remote-affiliate
investment in Skillsoft was $ 456,556 .
The
Company’s investment in AltC Sponsor LLC, the sponsor of AltC Acquisition Corp., a SPAC, constituted a “remote-affiliate”
transaction for purposes of the 1940 Act in light of the fact that Mr. Klein has a non-controlling interest in one of the entities that
controlled AltC Sponsor LLC, and Allison Green, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Treasurer and
Secretary, was a non-controlling member of the board of directors of AltC Acquisition Corp. until its dissolution upon completion of
AltC Acquisition Corp.’s business combination into Oklo, Inc. As of November 15, 2024, the Company had sold its investment in Oklo,
Inc.

Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
In
accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , the tables below provide quantitative information about the fair value measurements
of the Company’s Level 3 assets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in
the tables below, according to the Company’s valuation policy, the Board of Directors may also use other valuation techniques and
methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets. The tables below are not intended to be all-inclusive,
but rather provide information on the significant Level 3 inputs as they relate to the fair value measurements of the Company’s
assets. To the extent an unobservable input is not reflected in the tables below, such input is deemed insignificant with respect to
the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Significant changes in the inputs
in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement, depending on the input and the materiality of the investment.
Refer to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail.

(1) As
of December 31, 2025, the Board of Directors used a hybrid market and income approach to
value certain common and preferred stock investments, as the Board of Directors felt this
approach better reflected the fair value of these investments. In considering multiple valuation
approaches (and consequently, multiple valuation techniques), the valuation approaches and
techniques are not likely to change from one period of measurement to the next; however,
the weighting of each in determining the final fair value of a Level 3 investment may change
based on recent events or transactions. The hybrid approach may also consider certain risk
weightings to account for the uncertainty of future events. Refer to “Note 2—Significant
Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail.

(2) The
Board of Directors considers all relevant information that can reasonably be obtained when
determining the fair value of Level 3 investments. Due to any given portfolio company’s
information rights, changes in capital structure, recent events, transactions, or liquidity
events, the type and availability of unobservable inputs may change. Increases/(decreases)
in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) multiples,
time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values,
all else equal. Decreases/(increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates,
would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. The market approach utilizes
market value (revenue and EBIT) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available
precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Board of Directors carefully considers
numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value
the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as
well as size, profitability and growth expectations. In general, precedent transactions include
recent rounds of financing, recent purchases made by the Company, and tender offers. Refer
to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ”
for more detail.
(3) The
weighted averages are calculated based on the fair market value of each investment.
(4) Preferred
Stock also includes the Company’s investment in the Class A Interest of ARK Type One
Deep Ventures Fund LLC which is invested in the Series A-2 Preferred Shares of OpenAI Global,
LLC, and the Company’s investment in the Membership Interest of IH10, LLC which is
invested in the Series B Preferred Shares of VAST Data, Ltd. through an SPV.
(5) Common

(1) As
of December 31, 2024, the Board of Directors used a hybrid market and income approach to
value certain common and preferred stock investments, as the Board of Directors felt this
approach better reflected the fair value of these investments. In considering multiple valuation
approaches (and consequently, multiple valuation techniques), the valuation approaches and
techniques are not likely to change from one period of measurement to the next; however,
the weighting of each in determining the final fair value of a Level 3 investment may change
based on recent events or transactions. The hybrid approach may also consider certain risk
weightings to account for the uncertainty of future events. Refer to “Note 2—Significant
Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ” for more detail.
(2) The
Board of Directors considers all relevant information that can reasonably be obtained when
determining the fair value of Level 3 investments. Due to any given portfolio company’s
information rights, changes in capital structure, recent events, transactions, or liquidity
events, the type and availability of unobservable inputs may change. Increases/(decreases)
in revenue multiples, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) multiples,
time to expiration, and stock price/strike price would result in higher (lower) fair values,
all else equal. Decreases/(increases) in discount rates, volatility, and annual risk rates,
would result in higher (lower) fair values, all else equal. The market approach utilizes
market value (revenue and EBIT) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available
precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Board of Directors carefully considers
numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value
the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as
well as size, profitability and growth expectations. In general, precedent transactions include
recent rounds of financing, recent purchases made by the Company, and tender offers. Refer
to “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies— Investments at Fair Value ”
for more detail.
(3) The
weighted averages are calculated based on the fair market value of each investment.
(4) Adjusted
Funds From Operations, or “AFFO”.

5— COMMON STOCK
Share
Repurchase Program
On
August 8, 2017, the Company announced a $ 5.0 million discretionary open-market share repurchase program of shares of the Company’s
common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share, of up to $ 5.0 million until the earlier of (i) August 6, 2018 or (ii) the repurchase of $ 5.0
million in aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Following several intervening
approvals from the Company’s Board of Directors to increase the amount of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be
repurchased under the discretionary Share Repurchase Program and/or to extend the Share Repurchase Program to later expiration dates,
on October 29, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an extension, and increase in the amount of common shares that
may be purchased under, of the Company’s discretionary Share Repurchase Program until the earlier of (i) October 31, 2026 or (ii)
the repurchase of $ 64.3 million in aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock.
The
timing and number of shares to be repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and alternative investment
opportunities. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason and does not obligate
the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock. Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase
its outstanding common stock in the open market, provided that it complies with the prohibitions under its insider trading policies and
procedures and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the Exchange Act.
During
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did no t repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock under the Share
Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2025, the dollar value of shares that remained available to be purchased by the Company under
the Share Repurchase Program was approximately $ 25.0 million.

At-the-Market
Offering
On
July 29, 2020, the Company established an “at-the-market” offering (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to an At-the-Market
Sales Agreement dated July 29, 2020 (as amended on September 23, 2020 and November 8, 2024, the “Sales Agreement”) with BTIG
LLC, Citizens JMP Securities, LLC (f/k/a JMP Securities LLC), Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and Barrington Research Associates, Inc.
(collectively, the “Agents”). Under the Sales Agreement, the Company may, but has no obligation to, issue and sell up to
$ 150.0 million in aggregate amount of shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) from time to time through the Agents or to
them as principal for their own account. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program to make investments in portfolio
companies in accordance with its investment objective and strategy and for general corporate purposes.
Sales
of the Shares, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or sales made to or through
a market maker other than on an exchange, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices
or at other negotiated prices. Actual sales in the ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from
time to time.
The
Agents will receive a commission from the Company equal to up to 2.0 % of the gross sales price of any Shares sold through the Agents
under the Sales Agreement and reimbursement of certain expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid total commissions
and expenses of approximately $ 200,000 , representing approximately 1.8 % of gross proceeds. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination
provisions.

for the operating lease obligation. The lease originally commenced on June 3, 2019 and expired on August 31, 2024. On September 1, 2024,
the Company extended the previous operating lease for office space for an additional term of three years and three months, with an estimated
commencement date of January 1, 2025 and expiring March 31, 2028. On February 7, 2025, the Company executed a commencement letter, upon
which the lease term was amended to begin on February 13, 2025 and expiring May 12, 2028. The lease expense is presented as a single
lease cost that is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
As
of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company booked a right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $ 327,932 and $ 446,349 ,

NOTE
9— INCOME TAXES
The
Company elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, will not be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of taxable income (including gains) timely distributed as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to stockholders. Taxable income includes the Company’s taxable interest, dividend and fee income, reduced by certain
deductions, as well as taxable net realized investment gains. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting
purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation, as such gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
112
TABLE OF CONTENTS
SURO
CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December

To
qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing dividends
of an amount generally at least equal to 90 % of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without
regard to any deduction for distributions paid, to its stockholders. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the
Board of Directors each quarter and is based upon the annual earnings estimated by the management of the Company. To the extent that
the Company’s earnings fall below the amount of dividend distributions declared, however, a portion of the total amount of the
Company’s distributions for the fiscal year may be deemed a return of capital for tax purposes to the Company’s stockholders.
As
a RIC, the Company will be subject to a 4 % nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company makes
distributions treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes in a timely manner to its stockholders in respect of each calendar
year of an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for
each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the 1-year period ending October
31 of each such calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years, but not distributed during such
years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. The Company will not be subject to this excise tax on any amount on which
the Company incurred U.S. federal corporate income tax (such as the tax imposed on a RIC’s retained net capital gains).
Depending
on the level of taxable income earned in a taxable year, the Company may choose to carry over taxable income in excess of current taxable
year distributions from such taxable income into the next taxable year and incur a 4 % excise tax on such taxable income, as required.
The maximum amount of excess taxable income that may be carried over for distribution in the next taxable year under the Code is the
total amount of distributions paid in the following taxable year, subject to certain declaration and payment guidelines. To the extent
the Company chooses to carry over taxable income into the next taxable year, distributions declared and paid by the Company in a taxable
year may differ from the Company’s taxable income for that taxable year as such distributions may include the distribution of current
taxable year taxable income, the distribution of prior taxable year taxable income carried over into and distributed in the current taxable
year, or returns of capital.
The
Company has subsidiaries that are classified as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes which hold certain portfolio investments
in an effort to limit potential legal liability and/or comply with source-income type requirements contained in the RIC tax provisions
of the Code. These subsidiaries are consolidated for GAAP and the portfolio investments held by the subsidiaries are included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and are recorded at fair value. These subsidiaries are not consolidated with the Company
for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and tax assets and liabilities as a result of their
ownership of certain portfolio investments. Any income generated by these subsidiaries generally would be subject to U.S. federal income
tax imposed at corporate rates.
The
Company intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that it
may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of taxable income earned in a year, may choose to
carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax.
As
of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $ 0 . The Company is required to include net
deferred tax provision/benefit in calculating its total expenses even though these net deferred taxes are not currently payable/receivable.
Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition
of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as such gains or losses are not included
in taxable income until they are realized.
The
Company has elected to be treated and qualifies annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income that is distributed
to stockholders. As a result, the Company does not record U.S. federal income tax expense at the RIC level.
The
income tax expense presented below relates solely to the Company’s taxable subsidiaries, which are subject to U.S. federal and
state corporate income taxes. The following table reconciles the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective
income tax rate for the years presented.

U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, a portion of the Taxable Subsidiaries’ net operating loss carryforwards and basis differences
may be subject to limitations on annual utilization in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state law. The amount
of such limitations, if any, has not been determined. Accordingly, the amount of such tax attributes available to offset future profits
may be significantly less than the actual amounts of the tax attributes.

6.50%
Convertible Notes due 2029
On
August 14, 2024, the Company privately issued $ 25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Initial
Notes”) pursuant to a Notes Purchase Agreement, as Amended and Restated on December 12, 2025 (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the purchaser
identified therein (the “Purchaser”). On October 9, 2024, the Company issued an additional $ 5.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Additional Notes”), which are treated as a single series with the Initial
Notes. On January 16, 2025, the Company issued $ 5.0 million in Additional Notes, which are treated as a single series with the Initial
Notes and prior issuances of Additional Notes. As of December 31, 2025, $ 35.0 million of 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 had been issued.
The
6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 bear interest at a rate of 6.50 % per year, payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September
30, and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2024. The 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 have a maturity date of August
14, 2029 , unless previously repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with the terms of the Notes Purchase Agreement. The Company
has the right to redeem the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after August
6, 2027, upon the fulfillment of certain conditions. The Company has determined that the Conversion Cap Cash Payment feature included in the Convertible Note is an embedded
derivative that meets the equity classification criteria. As such, the feature is not bifurcated and is accounted for as part of the debt
instrument, which is recorded at amortized cost. The Company continues to assess this feature to determine if a future event would require
bifurcation.
The
6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 are convertible into shares of our common stock at the Purchaser’s sole discretion at an initial
conversion rate of 129.0323 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029, subject to adjustment
as provided in the Notes Purchase Agreement. Effective
as of July 21, 2025, the
conversion rate applicable to the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was adjusted to $7.53 per share (132.7530 shares of the Company’s
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029) from the initial conversion price of $7.75 per share
(129.0323 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029), which had
been effective since issuance. The adjustment
to the conversion rate of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was made pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement governing the 6.50% Convertible
Notes due 2029 as a result of the Company’s cash dividend of $ 0.25
per share, paid on July 31, 2025 to stockholders of record
as of the close of business on July 21, 2025. Effective as of November 21, 2025, the conversion rate applicable to the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was adjusted
to $7.32 per share (136.5633 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due
2029) from the most recent conversion price of $7.53 per share (132.7530 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029), which had been effective since July 21, 2025. The adjustment to the conversion rate of
the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 was made pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement governing the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 as
a result of the Company’s cash dividend of $ 0.25 per share, paid on December 5, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of
business on November 21, 2025.
The
6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 are direct unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu, or equal in right of payment,
with any outstanding existing or future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 are
junior in right of payment to any existing or future secured credit facility; provided, however, that if the Company enters into a future
credit facility senior in right of payment to the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (including any secured indebtedness), the interest
on the outstanding principal amount of the 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 shall increase as of the date of such entry to 7.00 % per
annum.

11— STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Second
Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan
On
May 28, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, an amendment and restatement
of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive
Plan”) under which the Company is authorized to grant equity awards for up to 2,390,186 shares of its common stock. In accordance
with the exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC on June 16, 2020 with respect to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity
Incentive Plan, the Company is generally authorized to (i) issue restricted shares as part of the compensation package for certain of
its employees, officers and all directors, including non-employee directors (collectively, the “Participants”), (ii) issue
options to acquire shares of its common stock (“Options”) to certain employees, officers and employee directors as a part
of such compensation packages, (iii) withhold shares of the Company’s common stock or purchase shares of common stock from the
Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of restricted shares or the exercise of Options granted to
the certain Participants pursuant to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iv) permit the Participants to
pay the exercise price of Options granted to them with shares of the Company’s common stock.
Under
the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, each non-employee director will receive an annual grant of $ 50,000 worth
of restricted shares of common stock (based on the closing stock price of the common stock on the grant date). Each grant of $ 50,000
in restricted shares will vest, in full, if the non-employee director is in continuous service as a director of the Company through the
anniversary of such grant (or, if earlier, the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that is closest to the anniversary
of such grant). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 31,248 restricted shares to the Company’s non-employee
directors pursuant to the Second Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, on May 28, 2025, 48,192 restricted
shares related to the 2024 non-employee director grants vested. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares is recognized
on a quarterly basis over the respective vesting periods.
Other
than such restricted shares granted to non-employee directors, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors may
determine the time or times at which restricted shares and Options granted to other Participants will vest or become payable or exercisable,
as applicable. The exercise price of each Option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock
on the date the option is granted. However, any optionee who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s
outstanding common stock (a “10% Stockholder”), will not be eligible for the grant of an incentive stock option unless the
exercise price of the incentive stock option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date
of grant. Generally, no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant. In the case of an Option
granted to a 10% Stockholder, the term of an incentive stock option will be for no more than five years from the date of grant.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 525,421 restricted shares to the Company’s officers pursuant to the Second
Amended & Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 1,263,225 and $ 2,550,638 , respectively,
not including executive and employee forfeits. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were approximately $ 8,012,148 and
$ 4,333,337 , respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the restricted share grants. Compensation expense associated
with the restricted shares is recognized on a quarterly basis over the respective vesting periods.

companies are generally subject to satisfaction of applicable closing conditions. In the case of secondary market transactions, such
closing conditions may include approval of the issuer, waiver or failure to exercise rights of first refusal by the issuer and/or its
stockholders and termination rights by the seller or the Company. Equity investments made through the secondary market may involve making
deposits in escrow accounts until the applicable closing conditions are satisfied, at which time the escrow accounts will close and such
equity investments will be effectuated.

NOTE
14— SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA
Summarized
Financial Information of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
In
accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X and GAAP, the Company is precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment
company, a controlled operating company that provides substantially all of its services and benefits to the Company, and certain entities
established for tax purposes where the Company holds a 100% interest; however, the Company must disclose certain financial information
related to any subsidiaries or other entities that are considered to be “significant subsidiaries” under the applicable rules
of Regulation S-X.
In
May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that impacted the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial
statements of certain of their portfolio companies or acquired funds (the “Final Rules”). The Final Rules adopted a new definition
of “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. In accordance with Rules
3-09, 4-08(g), and 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, the Company must determine if any of its unconsolidated subsidiaries are considered
a “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules amended the definition of “significant subsidiary” in a manner that
was intended to more accurately capture those portfolio companies that were more likely to materially impact the financial condition
of an investment company.
The
Company had no controlled portfolio companies as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s controlled portfolio company as of December
31, 2024, Colombier Sponsor II LLC, did not meet the definition of a “significant subsidiary” as set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2)
of Regulation S-X.
