Neostellar Capital Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2026

Preliminary Investment Portfolio Update

Completed Remaining $15 Million Investment in TensorWave via Magnetar Opportunity 2025-4 LP

Net Asset Value Expected to be $13.25 to $13.75 Per Share

NEW YORK, NY, July 8, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Neostellar Capital Corp. ("Neostellar Capital", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our") (Nasdaq: NSLR) today provided a preliminary update on its investment portfolio for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

As previously announced, effective July 1, 2026, the Company changed its name from SuRo Capital Corp. to Neostellar Capital Corp. and its Nasdaq Global Select Market ticker symbol from "SSSS" to "NSLR" in anticipation of its transition to an externally managed structure.

"Our stockholders overwhelmingly approved the transition to an externally managed structure, and the transition is now subject only to customary regulatory approvals, which we expect to receive in the near-term," said Mark Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Neostellar Capital. "We believe this evolution of our platform will enhance our sourcing capabilities, broaden our investment opportunity set, and increase our flexibility in pursuing differentiated private technology investments."

"During the second quarter, we funded our remaining $15 million commitment to TensorWave through an investment in Magnetar Opportunity 2025-4 LP. Together with the initial $5 million investment completed during the first quarter of 2026, Neostellar Capital's total investment in TensorWave now stands at $20 million. Since the initial investment, TensorWave has continued to execute against its growth strategy, reinforcing our investment thesis and conviction in the long-term opportunity. We believe TensorWave is well positioned to benefit from increasing demand for high-performance AI compute infrastructure as enterprise AI adoption continues to accelerate."

"We also completed a $9.5 million investment in ClickHouse during the second quarter, further expanding our exposure to category-leading private technology companies supporting AI and enterprise software infrastructure. ClickHouse is a leading provider of high-performance analytical database software serving enterprise and AI-driven workloads. We believe ClickHouse's differentiated technology and growing enterprise adoption position it well for continued long-term growth."

"These investments reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our strategy of partnering with category-leading private technology companies benefiting from durable secular growth trends," Mr. Klein continued. "We remain focused on identifying businesses with differentiated technologies, strong competitive positions, and attractive long-term growth prospects."

Mr. Klein concluded, "We believe the continued adoption of artificial intelligence is creating an expanding universe of compelling private investment opportunities. Our objective remains to partner with exceptional entrepreneurs building category-defining technology companies before they become broadly accessible in the public markets. We believe Neostellar Capital is well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and deliver long-term value for our stockholders."
