Exhibit 99.2
Silver Spike Investment Corp. Expands Loan Portfolio with Senior Secured Credit Facility to Verano Holdings Corp.
NEW YORK, NY, October 31, 2022 (GLOBENEWSWIRE) – 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.
