SAN FRANCISCO, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today provided the following preliminary update on its investment portfolio for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“Given current volatility in the capital markets and the exciting developments occurring within our portfolio, including Coursera’s recent IPO, we wanted to give a preliminary first quarter update to our shareholders. Based on information presently available, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we anticipate SuRo Capital’s net asset value to be approximately $17.70 to $18.30 per share, inclusive of the effects of the aggregate $0.50 per share of dividends declared during the quarter,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital. “During the first quarter, we made new equity investments in Shogun Enterprises and Architect Capital PayJoy SPV, which lends capital to facilitate PayJoy, Inc’s leasing business. Additionally, we formed SuRo Capital Sports, LLC (“SuRo Sports”), a $10.0 million SuRo Capital subsidiary focused on investing in the sports betting sector. SuRo Sports made its first investment in Commercial Streaming Solutions Inc. d/b/a BettorView. We believe our investment pipeline remains robust and we continue to be opportunistic in seeking out exciting high-growth companies.”

Klein continued, “Pursuant to our strategy to invest in pre-merger SPAC PIPEs and SPAC founder shares, we made new investments in Churchill Sponsor VI and Churchill Sponsor VII and, subsequent to quarter end, invested $2.2 million in Colombier Sponsor Corp. These investments are in addition to our 2020 commitment to invest $10.0 million in Skillsoft Limited via a pre-SPAC merger PIPE. We continue to evaluate exciting opportunities within the SPAC market and believe our proprietary access within the SPAC universe has delivered and will continue to surface unique opportunities for SuRo Capital.”

As previously reported, SuRo Capital’s net assets totaled approximately $301.6 million, or $15.14 per share, at December 31, 2020 and approximately $172.5 million, or $10.22 per share, at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, SuRo Capital’s net asset value is estimated to be between $17.70 and $18.30 per share. This range includes a customary discount to the quarter-end pricing of Coursera, Inc. public common shares, as those shares were subject to certain lock up provisions at quarter-end.
