SuRo Capital Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “SuRo Capital”), formerly known as Sutter Rock Capital Corp. and as GSV Capital Corp. and formed in September 2010 as a Maryland corporation, is an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

The Company’s date of inception was January 6, 2011, which is the date it commenced development stage activities. The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SSSS” (formerly “GSVC”). Prior to November 24, 2021, the Company’s common stock traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol (“SSSS”).

The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its portfolio’s total return, principally by seeking capital gains on its equity and equity-related investments, and to a lesser extent, income from debt investments. The Company invests principally in the equity securities of what it believes to be rapidly growing venture capital-backed emerging companies. The Company may invest in these portfolio companies through direct offerings of the prospective portfolio companies, transactions on secondary marketplaces for private companies, negotiations with selling stockholders, investment funds, or through SPVs and other investment funds for the purpose of investing in securities of a single private issuer. In addition, the Company may invest in private credit and in founders equity, founders warrants, and private investment in public equity transactions of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The Company may also invest on an opportunistic basis in select publicly traded equity securities or certain non-U.S. companies that otherwise meet its investment criteria, subject to any applicable limitations under the 1940 Act.
