CION Investment Corp 8-K

What Happened
CION Investment Corp filed an 8‑K on April 21, 2026 reporting that Aron I. Schwartz, a Class II independent director, notified the Board on April 17, 2026 that he will not stand for re‑election and will depart the Board effective at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting on June 25, 2026. Mr. Schwartz will continue to serve as a director and as a member of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee until the Annual Meeting. The company says his decision is due to other professional opportunities and not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

Key Details

• Director: Aron I. Schwartz, Class II independent director.
• Notification date: April 17, 2026; departure effective: June 25, 2026 (Annual Meeting).
• Committee roles retained until departure: Audit Committee, Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation Committee.
• Board change: Board size approved to decrease from eight to seven members, with five independent directors, effective as of the Annual Meeting.

Why It Matters
This filing is a governance update that changes board composition and could prompt shifts in committee membership after the June 25, 2026 Annual Meeting. Because the company states the departure is not due to any disagreement, it does not signal known governance conflict. Investors tracking board oversight, independence, and upcoming proxy materials should note the reduced board size and watch for nominee disclosures or committee reassignments in the company’s proxy/annual meeting materials.
