Board of Directors Authorizes Additional $15 Million to Aggregate $55 Million Since Inception of Program

Current Share Repurchase Program Capacity of Approximately $25 Million

NEW YORK, March 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuRo Capital Corp. (“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) today announced its Board of Directors has increased the amount of common shares that may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program by $15 million to $55 million aggregate.

“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. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has authorized an additional $15 million for share repurchases, bringing our Share Repurchase Program total to $55 million. Given the significant discount at which our stock is trading compared to net asset value, coupled with the extreme market volatility, we determined that this authorization is an efficient and accretive deployment of capital,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.
