Insights

SuRo Capital's Q4 2024 results reveal strategic positioning in high-growth AI infrastructure with $54.5 million deployed in this sector during 2024. The firm's NAV decreased to $6.68 per share from $7.99 year-over-year, representing a 16.4% decline, but management's commentary suggests potential near-term value catalysts.

The announcement of CoreWeave's IPO filing is particularly significant as it represents SuRo's largest initial investment ever. This follows portfolio company ServiceTitan's successful public offering in late 2023, establishing a potential pattern of liquidity events. Management specifically highlighted other portfolio companies (Canva, Whoop, Liquid Death, Vast Data, and OpenAI) as IPO candidates, drawing parallels to their 2020-2021 period when they monetized substantial portfolio assets.

SuRo's capital allocation strategy demonstrates a targeted focus on AI infrastructure through investments in CoreWeave ($25 million across different securities), OpenAI (via SPV), and VAST Data. Their $209.4 million portfolio now has significant concentration, with the top five investments representing 44% of fair value.

On the capital structure front, SuRo has been actively managing its debt, issuing $35 million in convertible notes (6.50% due 2029) while simultaneously repurchasing $35.3 million of their 6.00% notes due 2026. This debt refinancing strategy improves their maturity profile while maintaining financial flexibility.

With approximately $23.6 million in liquid assets and an extended share repurchase program with $25 million remaining capacity, SuRo maintains balance sheet optionality while positioning for potential upcoming liquidity events from portfolio companies.

SuRo Capital's investment approach in 2024 represents a significant tactical shift toward AI infrastructure, precisely when valuations in this sector began to command premium multiples. Their $25 million multi-structured investment in CoreWeave (direct ownership and SPV participation) appears particularly well-timed as the company now approaches the public markets.

The fund's NAV compression to $6.68 masks the potential embedded value in their portfolio. Trading at approximately $5.06 per share, the stock represents a 24.3% discount to stated NAV, creating an asymmetric risk-reward profile for investors as portfolio companies approach liquidity events. This discount has persisted despite management's active share repurchase program, which has reduced share count by over 6 million shares since inception.

The strategic decision to gain exposure to OpenAI through the ARK Type One Deep Ventures Fund structure demonstrates capital deployment creativity in accessing high-demand private companies. Similarly, their VAST Data investment through an SPV structure provides exposure to a rapidly growing enterprise AI infrastructure player.

SuRo's exit from Oklo delivering a 20x return validates their sponsor strategy in the SPAC market, which has otherwise seen challenging conditions. This disciplined exit approach during favorable windows shows opportunistic portfolio management.

The fund's debt management strategy transitioning from 6.00% notes to 6.50% convertibles provides additional optionality through equity conversion potential while extending maturity from 2026 to 2029. This prudent liability management creates a runway for portfolio maturation while introducing equity upside for note holders when NAV expansion occurs through successful exits.

Invests $54.5 Million in AI Infrastructure in 2024

CoreWeave, Inc., Single Largest Initial Investment in Fund’s History, Files for IPO

Net Asset Value of $6.68 Per Share as of December 31, 2024

NEW YORK, March 11, 2025 (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, 2024. Net assets totaled approximately $157.6 million, or $6.68 per share, at December 31, 2024, as compared to $6.73 per share at September 30, 2024 and $7.99 per share at December 31, 2023.

“Since inception, SuRo Capital has served as the public's gateway to venture capital, offering unique access to some of the world’s most innovative and sought-after private companies before they become publicly traded. Our diverse portfolio encompasses high-growth sectors including AI infrastructure, emerging consumer brands, and cutting-edge software solutions for both consumer and enterprise markets, among others,” said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SuRo Capital.

“This is an exceptionally promising time for our portfolio,” Mr. Klein continued. “CoreWeave, the single largest initial investment in our fund’s history, filed for an IPO earlier this month. This follows our portfolio company ServiceTitan’s successful IPO late last year. We are also extremely excited about the prospect of IPOs in some of our larger investments, like Canva, Whoop, Liquid Death, Vast Data, and OpenAI. We believe this moment is reminiscent of 2020 and 2021, when we monetized a substantial portion of our portfolio assets. I am confident that our current positioning is as strong as ever.”

Mr. Klein then highlighted SuRo Capital’s recent investment activity, noting, “In 2024, we continued to execute on a disciplined approach to deploying capital, and we have begun to see the positive results of those efforts as 2024 marked one of our most active investment periods in the last decade. During the year, we invested $54.5 million in artificial intelligence infrastructure and applications through our investments in CoreWeave (in part through CW Opportunity 2 LP, an SPV invested in CoreWeave, Inc.), OpenAI (through ARK Type One Deep Ventures Fund LLC, an SPV), and VAST (through IH10, LLC, an SPV). Additionally, we are pleased to report the full exit of our position in Oklo achieving a significant return of over 20 times our initially invested capital in AltC Sponsor LLC and the full exit of our PublicSquare common shares following the successful merger with Colombier Acquisition Corp. in 2023. These realizations are a testament to the success of our SPAC sponsor strategy established several years ago.”

SuRo Capital’s liquid assets were approximately $23.6 million as of December 31, 2024, consisting of cash and securities of publicly traded portfolio companies not subject to certain restrictions at year-end.

Convertible Note Purchase Agreement

On August 6, 2024, SuRo Capital entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the purchaser identified therein (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which we may issue up to a maximum of $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on August 14, 2024 we issued and sold, and the Purchaser purchased, $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Initial Notes”). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, upon mutual agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, we may issue additional Convertible Notes for sale in subsequent offerings to the Purchaser (the “Additional Notes”), or issue additional notes with modified pricing terms (the “New Notes”), in the aggregate for both the Additional Notes and the New Notes, up to a maximum of $50.0 million in one or more private offerings.

Interest on the Convertible Notes will be paid quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30, at a rate of 6.50% per year. The Convertible Notes will mature on August 14, 2029, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after August 6, 2027 upon the fulfillment of certain conditions. The Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of our common stock at the Purchaser's sole discretion at an initial conversion rate of 129.0323 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, subject to adjustments and limitations as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness, make investments in accordance with our investment objective and investment strategy, and for other general corporate purposes. The Note Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company.

On October 9, 2024, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold, and the Purchaser purchased, $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes. Subsequent to year-end, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on January 16, 2025 we issued and sold, and the Purchaser purchased, $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes. The Additional Notes are treated as a single series with the Initial Notes and have the same terms as the Initial Notes. The Additional Notes are fungible and rank equally with the Initial Notes. Upon issuance of the Additional Notes on January 16, 2025, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes became $35.0 million.

Note Repurchase Program

On August 6, 2024, SuRo Capital’s Board of Directors approved a discretionary note repurchase program (the “Note Repurchase Program”) which allows the Company to repurchase up to $35.0 million of our 6.00% Notes due 2026, exclusive of any applicable fees, through open market purchases, including block purchases, in such manner as will comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased an additional 203,168 of the 6.00% Notes due 2026 under the Note Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2024, we had repurchased 1,213,304 of the 6.00% Notes due 2026 under the Note Repurchase Program. Subsequent to year-end, through March 11, 2025, we repurchased an additional 199,990 of the 6.00% Notes due 2026 under the Note Repurchase Program. As of March 11, 2025, $35.3 million in aggregate principal dollar amount of the 6.00% Notes due 2026 have been repurchased, resulting in the total use of the authorized available funds.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 29, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an extension of, and a $4.3 million increase in the amount of shares that may be repurchased under, the Company's discretionary Share Repurchase Program until the earlier of (i) October 31, 2025 or (ii) the repurchase of $64.3 million in aggregate amount of the Company's common stock. As of March 11, 2025, the dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased by the Company under the Share Repurchase Program is approximately $25.0 million.

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.

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 1940 Act and the Exchange Act.
