Silver Spike Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: SSIC) (“SSIC”), allocated a total of $21 million to the recently announced Verano Holdings Corp. (“Verano”) $350 million senior secured credit facility. Verano is a leading, vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator in the U.S., devoted to the ongoing improvement of communal wellness by providing responsible access to regulated cannabis products.
“We are excited to continue to grow SSIC’s loan portfolio, especially with top tier cannabis companies such as Verano. The broader capital markets have been volatile this year, yet we believe that our methodical approach to underwriting and expertise positions us well to capitalize on the supply-demand imbalance for debt capital in the marketplace,” said Frank Kotsen, Silver Spike Capital’s Head of Credit.
