Exhibit 99.1
SuRo Capital Corp. Second Quarter 2024 Preliminary
Investment Portfolio Update
Net Asset Value Anticipated to be $6.70 to $7.20
Per Share
NEW YORK, NY,
July 11, 2024 (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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“As
we have previously mentioned, we remain incredibly enthusiastic about both our investment pipeline and our current portfolio as the IPO
market strengthens and new opportunities at compelling valuations continue to come to light. We continue to actively execute on these
opportunities. During the second quarter, we completed a $10.0 million investment in Canva, Inc., a leading design software and collaboration
platform with over 170 million monthly users, and a $15.0 million investment in CW Opportunity 2 LP, an SPV invested in CoreWeave, Inc.,
an AI cloud computing provider offering a suite of NVIDIA GPUs on top of its fast and flexible infrastructure,” said Mark Klein,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.
“With these
exciting new additions to our portfolio, and nearly $55.0 million in investable capital, we remain steadfast in our belief that there
continue to be high-quality opportunities available at attractive prices that allow us to be both opportunistic and judicious with the
deployment of capital,” Mr. Klein continued.
“As we have
consistently demonstrated, SuRo Capital is committed to initiatives that enhance shareholder value, and we believe the market is currently
undervaluing our portfolio. Given the discount our stock has traded at compared to net asset value per share, we believe our recently
completed Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer was an efficient and accretive deployment of capital. As announced in the first quarter
and executed during the second quarter, the Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer resulted in the purchase of 2.0 million shares of common
stock for $4.70 per share. Further, we continue to monitor leveraging the remaining $20.7 million authorized under our active Share Repurchase
Program,” concluded Mr. Klein.
As previously reported,
SuRo Capital’s net assets totaled approximately $181.7 million, or $7.17 per share, at March 31, 2024, and approximately $186.7
million, or $7.35 per share, at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, SuRo Capital’s net asset value is estimated to be between $6.70
to $7.20 per share, based on presently available information.
Investment Portfolio Update
As of June 30, 2024, SuRo Capital held positions
in 39 portfolio companies – 35 privately held and 4 publicly held, some of which may be subject to certain lock-up provisions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, SuRo Capital made the
following investments, excluding short-term US treasuries:

at quarter-end.
As of June 30, 2024, there were 23,378,002 shares
of the Company’s common stock outstanding.
Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer
On February 14, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized
a modified Dutch Auction tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a price
per share not less than $4.00 and not greater than $5.00 in $0.10 increments, using available cash. In accordance with the Tender Offer,
following the expiration of the Tender Offer at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on April 1, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares at a
price of $4.70 per share, representing 7.9% of its outstanding shares. The per share purchase price of properly tendered shares represents
65.6% of net asset value per share as of March 31, 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company
may repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market, provided it complies with the prohibitions under its insider trading policies
and procedures and the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
Since inception of the Share Repurchase Program
in August 2017, SuRo Capital has repurchased over 6.0 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$39.3 million. This does not include repurchases under various tender offers during this time period. The dollar value of shares that
may yet be purchased by SuRo Capital under the Share Repurchase Program is approximately $20.7 million. The Share Repurchase Program is
authorized through October 31, 2024.
