Sierra Income Corporation Announces Termination of Mergers

Sierra Income Corporation (“Sierra” or the “Company”) today announced that effective as of May 1, 2020 its Board of Directors has terminated its previously announced mergers with Medley Capital Corporation (“MCC”) and Medley Management Inc. (“MDLY”) as the Outside Date (as defined below) has passed and neither of the mergers were consummated.

As previously disclosed, effective as of July 29, 2019, (i) Sierra and MCC entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which MCC would be merged with and into the Company (the “MCC Merger”) and (ii) the Company, MDLY, and Sierra Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which MDLY would be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “MDLY Merger”). Section 9.1(c) of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and Section 9.1(c) of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement each permits the Company and either MCC or MDLY, as applicable, to terminate the respective agreement if the MCC Merger or the MDLY Merger, as applicable, has not been consummated on or before March 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”).

In determining to terminate the Amended MCC Merger Agreement and the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the Company considered a number of factors, including, among other factors, changes in the relative valuations of the Company, MCC, and MDLY, the changed circumstances and the unpredictable economic conditions resulting from the global health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the uncertainty regarding the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to closing in a timely manner.
