Scott Gordon, chairman and CEO of Silver Spike, stated “As the cannabis industry continues to move through a challenging phase, we remain focused on methodically underwriting new loans to premier operators and brands in the industry. Lending to cannabis companies is as limited as we have seen in recent years, which puts us in a unique position to continue capturing attractive risk adjusted returns for our investors. Earlier this month, we led and participated in the $35 million initial close of a senior secured credit facility for DreamFields Brands Inc., a leading multi-state cannabis operator, and one of the fastest growing companies in the cannabis industry, through its Jeeter brand.”
