Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
NEW YORK, August

finance company that was formed to invest across the cannabis ecosystem through investments primarily in the form of direct loans to
privately held cannabis companies, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

investment income of $2.9 million |

portfolio of $57.7 million at fair value |

Scott Gordon, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Silver Spike, commented “We have built a robust portfolio
of loans over the past year and are excited to announce our inaugural regular quarterly dividend and special dividend. Our ability
to announce our first dividends, after commencing operations as a “blind pool” with no investments, is a testament to
Silver Spike's rigorous underwriting standards, specialized structuring skills and cannabis expertise. The cannabis market remains
challenging for operators and investors, but we continue to see attractive investment opportunities and will seek to add investments
to the portfolio in a disciplined manner.”

Background
Silver Spike Investment
Corp. is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. On February 8, 2022, Silver Spike completed its initial public offering. Silver Spike is managed by Silver Spike
Capital, LLC, an investment manager focused on the cannabis and alternative health and wellness industries.
Results of Operations
For the three months
ended June 30, 2023, total investment income was $2.9 million. This compares to total expenses of $1.0 million, resulting in net investment
income of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.31 per share.
Silver Spike recorded
a net unrealized loss of $0.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to the fair valuation of our debt investments.
The Company generated a net increase in net assets from operations of $1.2 million, or $0.19 per share.
Net Asset Value
As of June 30,
2023, NAV per share increased to $14.49, compared to $14.29 as of March 31, 2023. The increase in NAV per share was primarily driven
by the results from operations. Total net assets as of June 30, 2023 were $90.0 million, compared to $88.8 million as of March 31, 2023.
Portfolio and
Investment Activity
As of June 30,
2023, Silver Spike’s investment portfolio had an aggregate fair value of approximately $57.7 million, comprising $49.7 million

Regular and Special
Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors

Payment
Date |
September

The special dividend will be paid out
of the Company's undistributed taxable income (taxable income in excess of dividends paid) as of March 31, 2023. The Company expects
to also pay a special dividend during the quarter ending December 31, 2023.
The Company has
adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders,
unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not “opted
out” of the DRIP at least three days prior to the dividend payment date will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested
in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary
may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

Why Now? Market Opportunity Cannabis is an emerging market secular growth story with an attractive lending opportunity . The U . S . industry is sizeable, growing rapidly, and estimated to reach ~ $ 57 bn by 2028 F, representing a ~ 11 % CAGR from 2021 . 1 Compelling opportunities for lenders to profit from the favorable supply and demand imbalance for debt capital , as the debt servicing capacity of cannabis companies far outstrips the available supply of institutional debt capital . We believe this opportunity will persist for many years, regardless of any near - term federal regulatory action . Within the $ 1 . 3 trillion private credit market today, direct lending in cannabis will remain outside the purview of most banks and traditional alternative asset managers . Near - term regulatory action (e . g . , SAFE Banking) will be a step in the right direction, but likely will not meaningfully change the complex industry dynamics . Lenders can demand various structural protections and have significant pricing power, driving attractive risk - adjusted returns . Complex regulatory, operational, and legal frameworks that vary state to state create high barriers of entry to traditional capital providers .

Estimated Yield to Maturity (“YTM”) includes a variety of fees and features that affect the total yield, which may include, b ut are not limited to, original issue discount (“OID”), exit fees, prepayment fees, unused fees, and contingent features. The es tim ated YTM calculations require management to make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and amounts of loan draws on delayed draw loans, the timing and collectability of exit fees, the probability and timing of prepayments, and the p ro bability of contingent features occurring. We have not assumed any prepayment penalties or early payoffs in our YTM calculations. Estimat ed YTM is based on current management estimates and assumptions, which may change. Actual results could differ from those estima tes and assumptions. For floating rate loans, future Prime Rates are assumed to be equal to the Prime Rate applicable to the current interest payment period. Weighted average YTM of loans is gross of expenses, excludes cash holdings, and is calculated using t he investment values shown. The weighted average YTM of loans would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash hold ing s. 2. For loans made at or prior to 6/30/23, investment value is the fair market value of such loans. For any loans made subsequent to 6/30/23, investment val ue is the purchase price, plus actual accrued interest (if any at purchase), of such loans. 3. Percentage of net assets is calculated using the investment values shown, divided by the total net assets as of 6/30/23. Tota l n et assets as of 6/30/23 were $90.0mm.
