Net Asset Value of $8.09 Per Share as of December 31, 2025

Recent 2026 Portfolio Company Financings Expected to Add an Estimated

$5.00 – $6.50 to Net Asset Value Per Share

NEW YORK, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Net assets totaled approximately $205.3 million, or $8.09 per share, at December 31, 2025, as compared to $9.23 per share, at September 30, 2025 and $6.68 per share at December 31, 2024.

“2025 was a year of strong performance across our portfolio, underscoring the continued execution and value creation at several of our largest investments. That momentum has continued into 2026, with a number of our portfolio companies having completed, or in the process of completing, significant financings,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.

“Based on indications available today, and assuming each of the financings closes and the remainder of our portfolio remains at its December 31, 2025 valuation, we believe these financings could contribute approximately $5.00 to $6.50 per share to our current net asset value. As these developments arose in 2026, they are not reflected in our December 31, 2025 net asset value.”

Mr. Klein continued, “We also remain active in deploying capital into high-conviction opportunities aligned with our core investment themes, including our recent investment in TensorWave, which further expands our exposure to AI infrastructure.”

“As we look ahead, we are encouraged by the continued progress across our portfolio. We believe our strategy of investing in category-defining companies, including those building technologies that are transforming how businesses operate, positions SuRo Capital to create substantial long-term value for shareholders. We remain focused on disciplined execution, including realizing gains and returning capital as liquidity opportunities arise,” Mr. Klein concluded.

At December 31, 2025, SuRo Capital held positions in 35 portfolio companies – 32 privately held and 3 publicly held, some of which may be subject to certain restrictions and/or lock-up provisions – with an aggregate fair value of approximately $225.5 million.
