How does the announced $0.36 per share distribution compare to the prior quarter’s and the same quarter last year?

Answer

The press release you referenced only tells us the size of the third‑quarter 2025 base distribution that CION’s co‑chief executive officers announced: $0.36 per share (payable on September 16 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 2 2025).

The release does not include the following pieces of information that would be needed to answer your comparison question:

Distribution to compare Amount disclosed in the release
Prior quarter (Q2 2025) base distribution Not provided
Same quarter last year (Q3 2024) base distribution Not provided

Because the amounts for the prior quarter (Q2 2025) and for Q3 2024 are absent, we cannot determine whether the $0.36 per‑share distribution represents an increase, decrease, or is unchanged relative to those earlier periods.

What you can do next

  1. Check CION’s earlier filings –

    • Form 10‑Q for Q2 2025 (filed with the SEC) will list the Q2 2025 base distribution.
    • Form 10‑Q or 8‑K for Q3 2024 (or the Q3 2024 earnings press release) will contain the Q3 2024 distribution amount.

  2. Look at historical press releases –

    CION typically announces quarterly base distributions in its earnings releases. A quick search on CION’s investor‑relations website or on newswire services (e.g., Business Wire, PR Newswire) for “CION third‑quarter 2024 distribution” should retrieve the prior figure.

  3. Contact Investor Relations –

    If you need the numbers promptly, you can email or call CION’s Investor Relations team (contact details are usually listed at the bottom of the press release) and request the specific distribution amounts for Q2 2025 and Q3 2024.

Summary

  • Current announced distribution: $0.36 per share for Q3 2025.
  • Prior‑quarter (Q2 2025) and same‑quarter‑last‑year (Q3 2024) distribution amounts: Not disclosed in the provided news article, so a direct comparison cannot be made without obtaining those figures from other sources.
