C1 Fund Inc. (NYSE:CFND) announced today that it is unable to complete and file its Annual Report on Form N-CSR and transmit its annual report to shareholders for the period ended December 31, 2025 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Fund has received notice from the New York Stock Exchange in connection with the late filing, which has no immediate effect on the listing of the Fund's common stock on the NYSE.

As previously disclosed in the Fund's Notification of Late Filing on Form NT-NCSR, the Fund requires additional time to complete documentation relating to valuation and accounting for its investments and to finalize the related financial statements. In addition, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its audit documentation.

Upon filing the Form N-CSR within the NYSE cure period, the Fund expects to regain compliance with NYSE continued listing standards. The annual report will be transmitted to shareholders promptly following completion and filing of the Form N-CSR. The Fund continues to operate in the ordinary course consistent with its investment mandate.
