(“SuRo Capital”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) (Nasdaq: SSSS) announced today that it will commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 2 million shares of its 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. “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, on February 14, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer to purchase up to 2 million shares of our common stock at a price per share between $4.00 and $5.00.
