Analysis · CION · Unknown
CION completed its deleveraging plan ahead of its September 30 target, repaying $114.8M of Israel Series A Notes and ~$200M under its JPMorgan credit facility. The strategic JV closed September 17, moving $180.3M of loans off-balance-sheet. Pro-forma net leverage falls to 1.35x from prior levels — a meaningful balance-sheet cleanup that reduces interest expense and risk, though it also shrinks earning assets.
