under the DGCL on June 13, 2014 and commenced operations on September 29, 2014 upon the completion of the IPO of its Class A Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &ldquo;<B><I>MDLY Class A Common Stock</I></B>&rdquo;). The offering proceeds were used
to purchase 6,000,000 newly issued limited liability company units of Medley LLC (the &ldquo;<B><I>Medley LLC Units</I></B>&rdquo;).
MDLY operates as a holding company and its sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in Medley LLC. MDLY operates and
controls all of the business and affairs and consolidates the financial results of Medley LLC and its subsidiaries. In connection
with the IPO, MDLY issued 100 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &ldquo;<B><I>MDLY Class B Common
Stock</I></B>&rdquo;), to Medley Group LLC (&rdquo;<B><I>Medley Group</I></B>&rdquo;), an entity wholly owned by the pre-IPO members
of Medley LLC. The MDLY Class B Common Stock entitles Medley Group to a number of votes that is equal to 10 times the aggregate
number of units held by all non-managing members of Medley LLC that do not themselves hold shares of MDLY Class B Common Stock
times the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Exchange Agreement (defined below)), which is currently one-for-one, and entitle each
other holder of MDLY Class B Common Stock, without regard to the number of shares of MDLY Class B Common Stock held by such other
holder, to a number of votes that is equal to 10 times the number of membership units held by such holder times the Exchange Rate.
As of June 30, 2018, MDLY had total assets of approximately $94,181,000 million and its closing market price
on the NYSE was $3.55 per share.</P>

HSR Act provides that parties must not complete certain mergers, acquisitions or transfers of assets until they have made a detailed
filing with the FTC and the DOJ and waited for those agencies to determine that the transaction will not adversely affect U.S.

the transactions contemplated thereby as required by the HSR Act, and to take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause
the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the MCC Merger and the MDLY Merger
as soon as practicable. At any time before consummation of the Mergers, the FTC or the DOJ could take such action under the antitrust
laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin consummation of the Mergers. Individual
states or private parties also may bring actions under the antitrust laws in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance

a special meeting on June 18, 2018, the Sierra Board considered the potential three-way combination of Sierra, MCC and MDLY (the
&ldquo;<B><I>Proposed Business Combination</I></B>&rdquo;), the rationale for the Proposed Business Combination, and the initial
terms of a potential framework around which the Proposed Business Combination could be effected. Pursuant to the initial framework,
MCC would merge with and into Sierra, and Sierra would acquire MDLY through a merger of MDLY with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Sierra. The proposed MCC Merger would take the form of a stock-for-stock merger in which MCC Stockholders would receive Sierra
Common Stock in exchange for their existing shares of MCC Common Stock using a proposed exchange ratio of 0.76 shares of Sierra
Common Stock for each share of MCC Common Stock. The proposed cash consideration in regard to the proposed MDLY Merger was, among
other things, intended to address the tax liability that would be incurred by the holders of Medley LLC Units as a result of the
closing of the MDLY Merger. It was noted that under a certain Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2014, among
MDL and the Medley LLC Unitholders (other than MDLY) (the &ldquo;<B><I>Tax Receivable Agreement</I></B>&rdquo;) the value of certain

the Sierra Board meeting on June 18, 2018, the Sierra Special Committee met with representatives of Broadhaven Capital Partners
(&ldquo;<B><I>Broadhaven</I></B>&rdquo;) to discuss the possibility of the Sierra Special Committee engaging Broadhaven to act
as an independent financial advisor to the Sierra Special Committee. The Sierra Special Committee reviewed materials that had
been provided by Broadhaven in advance of the meeting. The materials included (1) an overview of Broadhaven, (2) a description
of the fiduciary process to be undertaken by the Sierra Special Committee, (3) a description of the benefits and issues to consider
with respect to various strategic alternatives, (4) a description of selected prior transactions in which Broadhaven had served
as an advisor, and (5) financial advisor fee precedents for comparable types of transactions. Broadhaven, among other things,
presented its qualifications, discussed the manner in which it would analyze the framework for the Proposed Business Combination,
and discussed work it and members of the proposed engagement team had performed for MDLY in the past. Broadhaven representatives
also discussed with the Sierra Special Committee that Broadhaven previously had been engaged by MDLY on October 11, 2017 to advise
MDLY in connection with a potential strategic transaction and that the engagement had been terminated on June 15, 2018. The Broadhaven
representatives noted that Broadhaven had received no fees from MDLY in connection with that engagement and that Broadhaven had
waived the &ldquo;tail&rdquo; provisions arising from that engagement.</FONT></P>

at or near the bottom of publicly traded BDCs and that its GAAP ROE had been negative over certain periods. Broadhaven representatives
reviewed the market price of MCC Common Stock since MCC&rsquo;s initial public offering as well as the market discount to NAV

investment portfolio. Broadhaven representatives next discussed the overlap in Sierra&rsquo;s and MCC&rsquo;s investment portfolios.
Broadhaven representatives then reviewed their analysis of Sierra at various discounts to NAV. Broadhaven representatives noted
that, based on various metrics for publicly traded BDCs, they believed that Sierra Common Stock, if listed on a standalone basis,
would likely trade at a significant discount to NAV. Broadhaven representatives then discussed a potential exchange ratio of 0.76
that was an element of the initial framework analyzing it both assuming Sierra Common Stock were to trade at its current NAV,
and then at various discounts to NAV. Based on the estimated range of values for the Sierra Common Stock, Broadhaven representatives
calculated the resulting implied prices that would be paid to MCC Common Stockholders and compared such prices to the NAV of MC
and the current market price for MCC Common Stock. Broadhaven representatives discussed the proposed exchange ratio in view of
the anticipated contribution of Sierra and MCC to the Combined Company in terms of revenue, NII and net earnings. Finally, Broadhaven
representatives noted that the proposed exchange ratio between Sierra and MCC was within a range that likely represented economic
reality and that the relationship between Sierra and MCC as reflected by the proposed exchange ratio was appropriate.</FONT></P>

maintaining a management agreement with its wholly owned investment advisor. Broadhaven representatives explained that the revenue
paid by the Combined Company to its wholly owned investment advisor would result in taxable income for the advisor, but the tax
shield created by the Tax Receivable Agreement could be utilized to offset a portion of the investment advisor&rsquo;s taxable

June 30, 2018 financial results but generally held other assumptions constant with the framework discussed at the June 18, 2018
meeting of the Sierra Board. The July 12, 2018 framework reflected a proposed exchange ratio of 0.72 shares of Sierra Common Stock
for each share of MCC Common Stock and consideration to MDLY Stockholders of $3.75 in cash and 0.43 shares of Sierra Common Stock
for each share of MDLY Class A Common Stock. The Sierra Special Committee discussed with the representatives of S&amp;W and Broadhaven
the proposed executive compensation and expressed its desire to engage a consultant to advise the Sierra Special Committee on
the reasonableness of the proposed executive compensation. After discussion, and on the basis of a recommendation from the Broadhaven
representatives, the Sierra Special Committee determined to explore the possibility of engaging Johnson &amp; Associates to assist
the Committee in evaluating the reasonableness of the proposed executive compensation. The Sierra Special Committee also discussed
the composition of the Combined Company Board and asked the S&amp;W representatives to provide a variety of information about
the board composition of other BDCs.</FONT></P>

of Goldman Sachs discussed with the Sierra Special Committee his conversations with representatives of the other special committees&rsquo;
financial advisors concerning the feedback from the MDLY Special Committee and MCC Special Committee. The representative of Goldman
Sachs indicated that it was his understanding that the MCC Special Committee was focused on the following issues: (1) the exchange
ratio for the MCC Merger, (2) the MDLY Merger Consideration proposed to be paid to MDLY Stockholders, (3) the possibility of obtaining
cash considerations for MCC Stockholders as part of the MCC Merger, (4) the proposed executive compensation, and (5) the allocation

Sierra Special Committee instructed the representatives of Broadhaven to propose the following terms to the representatives of
Goldman Sachs and Brook Taube, and asked that they communicate them to the MCC Special Committee and MDLY Special Committee that:
(1) the nominal value of the consideration to be paid to MDLY Stockholders be in the range of $5 to $6 per share (valuing the
shares of Sierra Common Stock at their NAV as of March 31, 2018), (2) the cash component paid to MDLY Stockholders represent 50%
of the total consideration, and (3) the benefits of the Tax Receivable Agreement be split evenly between the Medley LLC Unitholders
and the Combined Company and its stockholders. The Broadhaven representatives also indicated that the Sierra Special Committee
believed the exchange ratio of 0.72, as proposed under the updated proposal, for the MCC Merger was within the appropriate range.
Mr. Taube informed the Sierra Special Committee and its advisors that the MDLY Special Committee wanted the total MDLY Merger
Consideration paid to MDLY Stockholders to be the equivalent of $7.75 per share (valuing the shares of Sierra Common Stock at
their NAV as of March 31, 2018). In order to bridge the difference in price and for other reasons, the Broadhaven representatives
suggested that MDLY could consider making a special dividend to MDLY Stockholders. The Goldman Sachs representative and Mr. Taube
said they would communicate the proposed terms to the MCC Special Committee and MDLY Special Committee and then they left the
meeting.</FONT></P>

of Goldman Sachs participated in these discussions at the direction of MDLY. Management indicated that the MCC Special Committee
and the MDLY Special Committee, as applicable, considered the following terms: (1) a nominal price of $6.75 per share for MDLY,
which includes a $0.50 per share dividend to be paid by MDLY to MDLY Stockholders immediately before the Mergers, (2) an exchange
ratio of 0.820 for the MCC Merger, and (3) allocating the benefits of the Tax Receivable Agreement evenly between the Medley LLC
Unitholders and the Combined Company and its stockholders. The Broadhaven representatives noted that Management believes the cost
savings from the Proposed Business Combination will be approximately $7 million annually and will document this savings, though
such savings were likely to be offset by the market levels of compensation being considered for Management. The Broadhaven representatives
also discussed Management&rsquo;s 2018 financial projections for MDLY. The Broadhaven representatives said that the MDLY Special
Committee appeared to be focused on the price previously offered by Party X. The Broadhaven representatives discussed with the
Sierra Special Committee why the price previously offered to MDLY by Party X no longer reflected, in their view, a fair price
for MDLY. The Broadhaven representatives noted that the MCC Special Committee should be willing to consider an exchange ratio
of less than 0.820. The Sierra Special Committee then discussed the Board composition of the Combined Company.</FONT></P>

Committee and the MDLY Special Committee. The proposed framework, now included (i) a price of $6.75 per share for MDLY, which
includes a $0.50 per share dividend to be paid by MDLY to MDLY Stockholders immediately prior to the Mergers, (ii) an exchange
ratio of 0.8050 for the MCC Merger and (iii) the elimination of the Tax Receivable Agreement such that all tax benefits would
accrue to the Combined Company. The Broadhaven representatives then reviewed an updated analysis that they had prepared which
reflected the latest proposal from the MCC Special Committee and the MDLY Special Committee, which had been provided to the Sierra
Special Committee prior to the meeting. The materials included an analysis of the implied nominal MDLY share price of $6.75 per
share. The Broadhaven representatives also reviewed their analysis of the exchange ratio for MCC Common Stock, which showed the
implied MCC purchase price and the premium and discount to the market price of MCC Common Stock. They also noted that the elimination
of the Tax Receivable Agreement was a significant economic concession from MDLY. The Broadhaven representatives next reviewed
their analysis of the financial impact of the Proposed Business Combination to the Combined Company. The Broadhaven representatives
noted that assuming a nominal price of $6.75 per share to be paid to MDLY Stockholders and an exchange ratio of 0.8050 for the
MCC Merger, the Proposed Business Combination would result in 16% accretion in NII, 0.9% accretion in NAV and 0.94% increase in
operating ROE for the Sierra Stockholders. The Broadhaven representatives reviewed the options available to the Sierra Special
Committee, which included, among others, accepting the counterproposal from the MCC Special Committee and the MDLY Special Committee
or rejecting the counterproposal and renewing the Sierra Special Committee&rsquo;s previous counterproposal. The Broadhaven representatives
advised that, based on Management&rsquo;s feedback regarding the views of the MCC Special Committee and the MDLY Special Committee,
obtaining a lower exchange ratio for the MCC Merger was likely not possible but they believed that there was still some room to
negotiate with the MDLY Special Committee on the terms of a transaction with MDLY. The Broadhaven representatives advised the
Sierra Special Committee to examine the terms of the Proposed Business Combination in whole rather than considering each Merger
in isolation. The Broadhaven representatives confirmed that they were prepared to take the MCC Special Committee&rsquo;s and the
MDLY Special Committee&rsquo;s latest counterproposal to their fairness opinion committee. The Sierra Special Committee excused
the Broadhaven representatives from the call.</FONT></P>

the Tax Receivable Agreement, or the financial projections for MDLY given that the transaction being considered did not contemplate
consolidation. Broadhaven representatives noted that their fairness opinion was conditioned on fair value rather than consolidation
accounting for MDLY. The discussion turned to next steps in regard to the accounting treatment of Merger Sub.</FONT></P>

discussed the application of the SEC&rsquo;s &ldquo;going private&rdquo; rule to the MDLY Merger and the determination that the
Sierra Board would be required to make as a result. The Sierra Special Committee then discussed the reports of the compensation
consultant that it had received prior to the meeting. The Sierra Special Committee began by discussing the proposed executive
compensation to be paid to certain members of Sierra&rsquo;s management and the comparable compensation information for certain
comparable BDCs and alternative asset managers. The Sierra Special Committee noted certain additional information they planned
to request from Management, including the specific roles and responsibilities of the members of Management proposed to receive
executive compensation packages. The S&amp;W representatives also discussed with the Sierra Special Committee the draft form of
employment agreement that Management had provided. The Sierra Special Committee determined that combining the positions of the
Chief Executive Officer and chair of the Combined Company Board was appropriate at this time.</FONT></P>

to be at or slightly below the industry median and that the employment agreement was intended to provide a market-based framework
for senior executives. There was then a discussion of the draft form of employment agreement that had been circulated by S&amp;W
earlier in the day with a goal of resolving specific business points. After discussion, the participants on the call agreed to

the Sierra Special Committee agreed that the termination fee of $5,350,000 currently contemplated for the MDLY Merger was
appropriate, but that MDLY should also be asked to reimburse Sierra&rsquo;s expenses should the MDLY Merger not be
consummated. </FONT>Later on August 8, 2018, the Sierra Special Committee then held an in-person meeting with representatives
of Broadhaven, Miles and Stockbridge P.C. (&ldquo;<B><I>M&amp;S</I></B>&rdquo;), counsel to Sierra in connection with

from approving the Proposed Business Combination. A representative of M&amp;S reviewed the Sierra Special Committee&rsquo;s
duties and responsibilities as directors of a Maryland corporation in regard to their consideration of the Proposed Business
Combination. Representatives of S&amp;W provided an overview of the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement,
noting that the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement were still being negotiated among the parties. In
reviewing the material terms and conditions of the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement, the representatives of
S&amp;W noted that the receipt of SEC exemptive relief to permit the Combined Company to operate as proposed, confirmation
from the SEC Staff that the financial statements of Merger Sub would not be consolidated with those of the Combined Company,
and receipt of an opinion that the Mergers would qualify as tax-free reorganizations were all conditions to closing in each
of the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement. The representatives of S&amp;W reviewed the termination provisions
in the MCC Merger Agreement and the MDLY Merger Agreement, which included termination fees and required the Mergers to close
by March 31, 2019.</P>

representatives reviewed their analysis of the Proposed Business Combination, copies of which were handed out at the meeting.
Broadhaven representatives noted that they had previously reviewed with the Sierra Special Committee much of the information and
analysis set forth in their report. Broadhaven representatives discussed (1) the structure of the Proposed Business Combination,
(2) the investment portfolios of each of Sierra and MCC, (3) the valuation of each of Sierra, MDLY and MCC, and (4) an analysis
of the impact of the Proposed Business Combination on Sierra. Broadhaven representatives highlighted certain features of the Proposed
Business Combination that redounded to the benefit of Sierra and the Sierra Stockholders, including the termination of the Tax
Receivable Agreement which would allow 100% of the benefits from the Tax Receivable Agreement to go to the Combined Company and
its stockholders. Broadhaven representatives noted that the market price for the shares of the Combined Company would likely be
higher than the market price for the shares of Sierra Common Stock if it listed its shares on a standalone basis. Broadhaven representatives
noted the benefit of converting from an externally-managed BDC to an internally-managed one. Broadhaven representatives then reviewed
their merger analysis. Broadhaven representatives explained that the Proposed Business Combination was expected to result in 15.6%
accretion in NII, 0.94 basis points increase in ROE and 0.7% accretion in NAV for Sierra. Broadhaven representatives discussed
the rationale for paying a premium over the current market price of MDLY Class A Common Stock and MCC Common Stock to effect the
Mergers. The Broadhaven representatives then discussed their draft fairness opinion, noting that it was conditioned on Sierra
receiving SEC exemptive relief to allow the Combined Company to operate as proposed and confirmation from the SEC that consolidation
of Merger Sub&rsquo;s financials with those of the Combined Company was not necessary.</FONT></P>

the end of the June 19, 2018 MCC Board meeting, the MCC Special Committee held an in-person meeting, with representatives of Kramer
Levin, independent counsel to the MCC Special Committee, in attendance, during which the MCC Special Committee
determined to retain a financial advisor for the purpose of advising the MCC Special Committee. In addition, representatives of
Kramer Levin reviewed with the MCC Special Committee their fiduciary duties in connection with its evaluation and negotiation
of the proposed MCC Merger or any alternatives thereto. At the request of the MCC Special Committee, representatives of Kramer
Levin also reviewed with the MCC Special Committee potential conflicts and information relating to the equity ownership of members
of Management in MCC, MDLY, and Sierra. At the meeting, the MCC Special Committee also confirmed the continued engagement of Kramer
Levin as independent legal counsel to the MCC Special Committee in connection with the proposed MCC Merger.</FONT></P>

MCC Special Committee then held telephonic meetings on June 22, 2018 and June 25, 2018, at which discussions were held with representatives
of two financial advisory firms, including Sandler O&rsquo;Neill and Partners (&ldquo;<B><I>Sandler O&rsquo;Neill</I></B>&rdquo;).
During the meetings on June 22, 2018 and June 25, 2018, the MCC Special Committee evaluated each financial advisory firm&rsquo;s
experience and qualifications, the preliminary perspectives regarding the Mergers, and in particular, the MCC Merger, provided
by each firm and the experience of each team in the BDC market and in the mergers and acquisitions field in general. The MCC Special
Committee also assessed whether any of the firms had conflicts that would disable it from rendering independent advice to the
Special Committee. Considering the factors described above, and after follow up discussions with representatives of each financial
advisor, the MCC Special Committee determined to authorize the engagement of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill as financial advisor to assist
the MCC Special Committee in its consideration of the proposed transaction and any other alternatives. On June 29, 2018, the MCC
Special Committee entered into a financial advisory engagement letter with Sandler O&rsquo;Neill.</FONT></P>

July 11, 2018, the MCC Special Committee held an in-person meeting with representatives of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill and Kramer Levin
in attendance, at which the MCC Special Committee, with the assistance of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill and Kramer Levin, reviewed in
detail Management&rsquo;s initial framework. At the invitation of the MCC Special Committee and at the direction of MDLY, representatives
of Goldman Sachs were in attendance at this meeting. At the direction of MDLY, representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed details
of the Proposed Business Combination under which two contemporaneous transactions would be cross-conditioned upon each other:
MCC would merge with and into Sierra, and Sierra would acquire MDLY through a merger of MDLY with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Sierra. The MCC Merger would take the form of a stock-for-stock merger in which MCC Stockholders would receive Sierra Common
Stock in exchange for their existing shares of MCC Common Stock, and the MDLY Merger would include both cash and stock consideration
payable to the MDLY Stockholders. The proposed exchange ratio for the MCC Merger was 0.76 shares of Sierra Common Stock for each
share of MCC Common Stock, and in the proposed MDLY Merger, Sierra would acquire MDLY for $3.75 in cash consideration and 0.41
shares of Sierra Common Stock for each share of MDLY Class A Common Stock (the &ldquo;<B><I>Initial Proposal</I></B>&rdquo;).
During this meeting, representatives of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill reviewed background information regarding Sierra and MDLY and discussed
the structure of the proposed transaction, the transaction rationale and potential risks/challenges, corporate governance and
post-transaction arrangements with management. The MCC Special Committee discussed the challenges faced by MCC as a stand-alone
public company, including its size, the recent portfolio credit performance of MCC, significant declines in NAV and net income
and concerns over credit, leverage constraints on growth and difficulty in raising capital. The MCC Special Committee considered
potential benefits of the Mergers to MCC, including increased scale and portfolio diversification, a combined company with larger
market capitalization and thus potentially enhanced liquidity and a management structure more closely aligned with interests of
the MCC Stockholders since the investment adviser to the Combined Company would be wholly owned by the Combined Company. Representatives
of Kramer Levin discussed the SEC exemptive relief that would be required in order to consummate the proposed transaction. Kramer
Levin also reviewed and discussed with members of the MCC Special Committee their responsibilities and duties in considering the
proposed transaction and any alternatives to the proposed transaction. The MCC Special Committee requested Kramer Levin to conduct
due diligence to assist the MCC Special Committee&rsquo;s evaluation of the proposed transaction.</FONT></P>

July 17, 2018, the MCC Special Committee met telephonically with the representatives of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill and Kramer Levin
to discuss a revision of the Initial Proposal conveyed by Mr. Taube and representatives of Goldman Sachs based on updated MCC
financial information (as of June 30, 2018) (the &ldquo;<B><I>Updated Proposal</I></B>&rdquo;). The Updated Proposal provided
for a stock-for-stock merger using an exchange ratio of 0.72 due to a decrease in MCC&rsquo;s NAV per share over the previous
quarter. Sandler O&rsquo;Neill discussed with the MCC Special Committee financial aspects of the Updated Proposal. The MCC Special
Committee preliminarily considered that the Updated Proposal (as well as the Initial Proposal) would result in dilution of NAV
per share of MCC Common Stock (although it would yield expected accretion to NII per share) and that there was no cash consideration
in the proposed transaction for MCC Stockholders. The MCC Special Committee also noted the expected cash needs of the Combined Company.</FONT></P>

merger with a fixed exchange ratio that was slightly higher than that provided for in the Updated Proposal and a limit on the
maximum amount of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to Medley LLC Unitholders. The MCC Special Committee reviewed with
Sandler O&rsquo;Neill a comparison of the Counter-Proposal and the Sierra Proposal. The MCC Special Committee considered, among
other things, the potential financial impact of the Sierra Proposal on MCC and the MCC Stockholders and determined to reject the
Sierra Proposal, noting, in particular, the amount of NAV per share dilution that was expected to result therefrom. The MCC Special
Committee requested that Sandler O&rsquo;Neill provide a counter-proposal to the MDLY Special Committee and the Sierra Special

July 28, 2018, the MCC Special Committee met telephonically with representatives of Sandler O&rsquo;Neill and Kramer Levin, to
further discuss the Response Proposal. The MCC Special Committee reviewed the potential financial impact of the Response Proposal,
noting that although there remained some potential dilution of NAV per share of MCC Common Stock (approximately 8%), there was
an expected significant accretion in NII per share, which could help support the market value at which the Combined Company would
trade. The MCC Special Committee took into account that MCC Common Stock has traded at a discount to NAV of 30% or more. Based
on information reviewed with the MCC Special Committee by Sandler O&rsquo;Neill, and the analyses that Management provided, the
MCC Special Committee noted that the market appeared to ascribe a far greater discount to MCC&rsquo;s NAV per share than what
is reflected in the exchange ratio under the Response Proposal and that the Combined Company appeared unlikely to trade at a discount
to its NAV per share to the same extent as MCC. The MCC Special Committee then considered the significant challenges currently
facing MCC as a small stand-alone BDC with an NAV and NII per share that have each been declining. After additional discussion,
the Committee determined to proceed with further negotiations with Sierra and MDLY, using the Response Proposal as a framework
for the legal agreements among the parties.</FONT></P>

2018, for the purpose of discussing a proposed strategic transaction involving MDLY, Sierra and MCC. On June 16, 2018, Mr.
John Fredericks contacted representatives of Potter Anderson, independent counsel to the MDLY Special Committee to discuss
the proposed transaction, informed them that the contemplated transaction was conditioned on approval of the MDLY
Special Committee and invited them to attend the June 18, 2018 meeting.</FONT></P>

the June 18, 2018 meeting of the MDLY Board, Mr. Taube and, at the direction of MDLY, representatives of Goldman Sachs, reviewed
in detail a preliminary framework for relating to the Proposed Business Combination through two contemporaneous transactions that
would be cross-conditioned upon each other. The terms of the preliminary framework were intended to facilitate negotiations among
the respective special committees of the boards of directors of MDLY, Sierra and MCC. Pursuant to the Proposed Business Combination,
MCC would merge with and into Sierra, and Sierra would acquire MDLY through a merger of MDLY with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Sierra. The MCC Merger would take the form of a stock-for-stock merger in which MCC Stockholders would receive Sierra Common
Stock in exchange for their existing shares of MCC Common Stock, and the MDLY Merger would include both cash and stock consideration
payable to the MDLY Stockholders.</FONT></P>

proposed exchange ratio for the MCC Merger discussed was 0.76 shares of Sierra Common Stock for each share of MCC Common Stock.
In the proposed MDLY Merger, Sierra would acquire MDLY for $3.75 in cash consideration and 0.41 shares of Sierra Common Stock
for each share of MDLY Class A Common Stock. Next, Management and representatives of Goldman Sachs provided an overview of the
potential benefits of the Mergers, including that the Mergers would: (i) create the second largest internally managed and seventh
largest publicly traded BDC, (ii) result in a simplified organizational structure allowing for significant reductions in fixed
costs and expenses, and (iii) result in a significant increase in equity market liquidity for the stockholders of each of Sierra,
MCC and MDLY. Following that discussion, Eversheds Sutherland discussed the SEC exemptive relief that would be required in order
to consummate the proposed Mergers. Management confirmed to the MDLY Special Committee that any proposal circulated by or on behalf
of Management or MDLY to either MCC or Sierra would not be considered final unless and until the MDLY Special Committee approved
such proposal.</FONT></P>

of the MDLY Special Committee, representatives of Potter Anderson also reviewed with the MDLY Special Committee potential conflicts
and information relating to the equity ownership of members of Management in MDLY, Sierra, and MCC. The potential conflicts of
interests discussed included the fact that certain members of Management have individual interests in the Medley LLC Units and
shares of MCC Common Stock, voting power over approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of MCC Common Stock held by Medley Seed
Funding I LLC, contractual rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and that members of Management likely would continue their
employment with the Combined Company. At the meeting, the MDLY Special Committee also confirmed the continued engagement of Potter
Anderson as independent legal counsel to the MDLY Special Committee in connection with the proposed MDLY Merger.</FONT></P>

representatives of Eversheds Sutherland stated that the members of Management that hold shares of MDLY Class B Common Stock
through their ownership of units of Medley Group LLC (which shares collectively represent a super-majority of the aggregate
voting power of the MDLY Common Stock), were not willing to condition the proposed MDLY Merger upon the approval of a
majority of the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders due to the relatively small ownership interest (approximately 18.3%) and voting
power (approximately 2.2%) that such holders have in MDLY. On June 24, 2018, representatives of Potter
Anderson, on behalf of the MDLY Special Committee, and representatives of Eversheds Sutherland held a follow-up
teleconference. On that call, representatives of Eversheds Sutherland (i) informed representatives of Potter Anderson that
MCC and Sierra had established the MCC Special Committee and the Sierra Special Committee, respectively, to evaluate and
negotiate the proposed Mergers, (ii) clarified portions of the framework regarding the proposed value and allocation of
consideration to MDLY Stockholders in the proposed MDLY Merger, including, among other things, certain contemplated tax
obligations payable by the unitholders of Medley Group LLC, in response to questions put to them by Potter Anderson, (iii)
reviewed the terms of the advisory agreements between certain subsidiaries of MDLY and MCC and Sierra, respectively, and (iv)

separate occasions in 2017, Barclays&rsquo; deal team members advising the MDLY Special Committee provided financial advisory
services to two separate potential buyers of MDLY related to an acquisition of MDLY. &nbsp;Following a discussion of Barclays&rsquo;
relationship disclosure and potential conflicts, the MDLY Special Committee confirmed its belief that Barclays was independent
for purposes of representing the MDLY Special Committee in connection with the proposed MDLY Merger.</FONT></P>

respect to the price per share that the MDLY Stockholders could expect to receive for their shares, Mr. Taube noted that, based
on Management&rsquo;s discussions with the MCC Special Committee and the MDLY Special Committee, $7.00 per share of MDLY Class
A Common Stock was likely too high of a price point for MCC and Sierra, and that a price in the range of $5.00 to $6.00 per share
would be more likely agreeable to the MCC Special Committee and the Sierra Special Committee. Mr. Taube stated that in his view,
there was currently a clear path forward if the MDLY Special Committee was willing to proceed with a deal that would entail a
share price in the low $6.00 range. Mr. Taube stated that it appeared likely that Management would need to forfeit a portion of
its rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In that regard, Mr. Taube proposed that Management would give up at least a portion
of the Tax Receivable Agreement in order to get the highest price point possible for shares of MDLY Class A Common Stock, though
$7.00 would still not be likely agreeable to the MCC Special Committee and the Sierra Special Committee. </FONT></P>

Taube then walked through the form of consideration that MDLY Stockholders could expect to receive, explaining that MDLY Stockholders
would likely receive over $3.50 per share in cash, with the remaining consideration consisting of stock in the Combined Company.
This would result in a premium to MDLY&rsquo;s current market value of approximately 70%. </FONT></P>

following the MDLY Board meeting, on July 20, 2018, the MDLY Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives
of Potter Anderson and Barclays. After a discussion of the concerns raised by the Sierra Special Committee and the MCC Special
Committee, the MDLY Special Committee instructed Barclays to obtain further information regarding the Sierra Special Committee&rsquo;s
bases for Sierra&rsquo;s valuation of the MDLY Class A Common Stock. The MDLY Special Committee also discussed additional transaction
considerations including imposing certain parameters around post-closing compensation for members of management of the Combined
Company, potential additional procedural protections, and other options regarding the structure of the consideration to be paid
to the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders, including broader election rights for the unaffiliated MDLY stockholders with respect to
consideration. The MDLY Special Committee discussed possible sources of additional value for the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders
and instructed Barclays to request that the Medley LLC Unitholders forfeit some or all of the benefits to which they would be
entitled under the Tax Receivable Agreement in order to increase the amount of consideration available to the unaffiliated MDLY
Stockholders. The MDLY Special Committee, together with Potter Anderson and Barclays, also discussed the unsuccessful efforts
of MDLY to find a potential buyer for MDLY or its assets, based on information about such efforts provided by representatives
of Goldman Sachs, and to what extent prior discussions with third parties with respect to MDLY&rsquo;s value and the lack of viable
proposals to acquire MDLY impacted the value of the consideration offered in connection with the proposed MDLY Merger. Following
the July 20, 2018 meeting of the MDLY Special Committee, Barclays communicated to representatives of Goldman Sachs the MDLY Special
Committee&rsquo;s request for additional consideration for the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders and related questions regarding
other potential sources of value.</FONT></P>

Common Stock per share of MDLY Class A Common Stock. In addition, the updated framework proposed a stock-for-stock merger of Sierra

MCC&rsquo;s NAV per share over the previous quarter. As part of the framework, the Medley LLC Unitholders agreed to reduce the

July 30, 2018, at the direction of MDLY, representatives of Goldman Sachs delivered an updated framework for the proposed Mergers
to the MDLY Special Committee and Potter Anderson. The July 30, 2018 framework provided that (i) the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders
would receive $4.09 per share, which would include $0.65 payable in the form of special cash dividends, and (ii) Management would
receive a lower per share cash consideration of $3.79, which would include only $0.35 payable in the form of a special cash dividend.
Under the July 30, 2018 framework, both the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders and Management (in their capacity as MDLY Stockholders)
would receive 0.3836 shares of Sierra Common Stock per share of MDLY Class A Common Stock. In addition, the updated framework
proposed a stock-for-stock merger of Sierra and MCC using an exchange ratio of 0.8050, which was consistent with the most recently
proposed framework<B>. </B></FONT></P>

Taube next summarized Management&rsquo;s latest discussion with the Sierra Special Committee and the MCC Special Committee, noting
that while he had previously reported to the MDLY Special Committee that a share price of $6.75 (inclusive of the total cash consideration

a share price lower than $6.75.</FONT></P>

representatives of Potter Anderson asked for further information regarding the sources of value associated with the MDLY Merger,
and asked Mr. Taube to reconfirm Management&rsquo;s projections and that no changes were necessary. Mr. Taube noted that Management
had given up a great deal of value for themselves in order to facilitate an agreement and a share price point that would be agreeable
to all parties. In particular, forfeiting the Medley LLC Unitholders rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, was of significant
benefit to the MDLY Stockholders. Mr. Taube then reviewed the specifics of the July 30, 2018 framework share price breakdown and
reconfirmed Management&rsquo;s projections.</FONT></P>

Mr. Taube informed the MDLY Board that Management received from an unaffiliated third party (&ldquo;<B><I>Party Y</I></B>&rdquo;)
a written non-binding indication of interest dated July 30, 2018, to acquire all of the shares of MDLY Class A Common Stock and
all of the Medley LLC rights (the &ldquo;<B><I>July 30, 2018 IOI</I></B>&rdquo;). Mr. Taube noted that Management would assess
the offer and provide the MDLY Special Committee with a copy of the July 30, 2018 IOI.</FONT></P>

on August 2, 2018, the MDLY Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with representatives of Potter Anderson and Barclays.
The MDLY Special Committee determined that there were no additional sources of value for the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders and
that the Sierra Special Committee and the MCC Special Committee were not amenable to giving up further value in connection with
the proposed Mergers. In addition, the MDLY Special Committee reviewed, with the assistance of Potter Anderson and Barclays, the
sales processes to date run by MDLY. Based on those discussions, the MDLY Special Committee (i) confirmed that the sales processes
run by MDLY for approximately 12 months, which failed to produce any viable transaction, constituted a reasonable market check
by MDLY and that no further pre-signing market check was necessary under the circumstances, and (ii) determined not to authorize
Barclays to solicit any indications of interest from any third party with respect to the purchase of all or a part of MDLY&rsquo;s
business. The MDLY Special Committee also discussed and continued to believe that it was not a viable option to request that the
deal be conditioned on the approval of a majority of the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders because such a condition had been rejected
on multiple occasions by Management (in its capacity as MDLY&rsquo;s controlling stockholder). The representatives of Potter Anderson
then reviewed with the MDLY Special Committee the draft MDLY Merger Agreement. The MDLY Special Committee also discussed the proposed
consideration and recognized that the cash component payable to the unaffiliated MDLY Stockholders alone exceeded the current
market price of shares of MDLY Class A Common Stock.</FONT></P>

meeting. Mr. Taube summarized the schedule of upcoming board and special committee meetings of MCC and Sierra, noting that Eversheds
Sutherland would narrow down the list of open items being discussed in the MDLY Merger Agreement and MCC Merger Agreement. Mr.
Taube next reviewed the working plan for the proposed transaction announcement, noting that the parties were working towards announcing
an agreement on the close of business on Thursday, August 9, 2018, assuming the MDLY Merger Agreement and MCC Merger Agreement
were finalized by that date.</FONT></P>

Mr. Taube provided an overview of the July 30, 2018 IOI. Mr. Taube explained that neither Management nor representatives of Goldman
Sachs were familiar with Party Y before receiving the unsolicited proposal. In summary, Party Y proposed a sale price that would
equate to approximately $5.09 per share of MDLY Class A Common Stock. Management met with representatives from Party Y and performed
diligence. Based upon that analysis, Management advised the MDLY Board that it appeared that Party Y did not have the capacity
or skill required for a successful transaction, lacked the necessary capital, and was offering a low share price that did not
fairly value MDLY. Representatives of Goldman Sachs confirmed that they were not familiar with Party Y before receiving the unsolicited
proposal and noted that it was likely that Party Y was hoping to acquire MDLY at a significant discount to fair value.</FONT></P>

by MDLY was based upon information that was provided by representatives of Goldman Sachs at the direction of MDLY. After an extensive

MDLY Stockholders, including when compared to any standalone options.</FONT></P>

whereby shares of each of MCC and MDLY will be converted into the right to receive shares of Sierra, would benefit stockholders
in a number of ways. As noted above, the Combined Company&rsquo;s increased size, increased portfolio diversity, and its superior
mix of current and capital gain income should all provide increased benefits for stockholders. The Consolidation should also enable
the Combined Company to improve employee recruitment efforts and employee retention. The Consolidation also would eliminate any
perceived conflict between the external adviser and the managed fund. For greater detail concerning the benefits of the Consolidation
for stockholders, see the discussion under &ldquo;The Consolidation &ndash; Reasons of the Consolidation.&rdquo;</P>

of any person occurs in connection with the Consolidation. (See &ldquo;&mdash;Board Considerations,&rdquo; above.)</P>

other things, the investment company&rsquo;s officers, directors, investment adviser, or affiliated persons thereof. As explained
above, the Consolidation is being proposed to benefit the current as well as future stockholders of the Consolidating Entities,
and no entity or individual beyond those entities stands to gain from the Consolidation (other than to the extent that certain
individuals will have employment agreements with the Combined Company) at the expense of such stockholders.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>6</SUP></FONT>

the Commission ... believes that any exemptive rulemaking pertaining to such transactions should be conditioned upon the board

their affiliates), provided that the issuer&rsquo;s revenues from &ldquo;securities related activities&rdquo; in its most recent
fiscal year do not exceed 15% of the issuer&rsquo;s gross revenues. In addition, paragraph (b) of Rule 12d3-1 establishes a separate
exemption to permit an investment company to acquire any security of an issuer that derives more than 15% of its gross revenues
from securities related activities, provided that, among other things, immediately after the acquisition of an equity or debt security
of the issuer: (i) the investment company has not invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of that
issuer and (ii) the investment company owns not more than 5% of the outstanding securities of that class of the issuer&rsquo;s

that &ldquo;[w]hile the reasons for Congress prohibiting investment company investments in securities related businesses are not
addressed in much detail in the 1940 Act&rsquo;s legislative history, it appears that Congress had two purposes. First, Congress

securities related businesses.&rdquo; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>8</SUP></FONT>

Section 12(d)(3) is one of several provisions of the 1940 Act designed to limit, and in some instances eliminate, interrelationships

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Applicants do
not believe that the Combined Company&rsquo;s ownership of registered investment advisers raise the same type of entrepreneurial
risks that may have concerned Congress in enacting Section 12(d)(3). The SEC has stated in regard to the entrepreneurial risks
that, &ldquo;aside from general partnership interests, investments in securities related businesses need not be subject to any
special standards not applicable to investments in other businesses, except to address the potential for conflicts of interest
and reciprocal practices.&rdquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>12</SUP></FONT>&nbsp;The
SEC has noted that since 1940 the ownership structure of most securities related issuers has changed from a partnership to a corporate
form, resulting in the limited liability status of these entities.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>13</SUP></FONT><SUP>&nbsp;</SUP>The
SEC has further stated that &ldquo;[a]side from general partnership interests, investments in securities issued by securities
related businesses need not be subject to any special standards not applicable to investments in other businesses, except to address
the potential for conflicts of interests and reciprocal practices.&rdquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>14</SUP></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Congress&rsquo; concerns
regarding entrepreneurial risk will also be mitigated by disclosure to investors in the Combined Company&rsquo;s ongoing public
filings with the SEC, as such disclosure will describe the fact that the Combined Company&rsquo;s business includes owning registered
investment advisers. As a result, investors in the Combined Company will be informed of the risks, including entrepreneurial risk,
of investing in the Combined Company. Therefore, only persons or entities that explicitly intend and desire to have exposure to
investments in investment advisers will purchase shares, or if they are existing investors, choose not to sell their shares, in
the Combined Company. Thus, the Applicants believe that the Combined Company&rsquo;s ownership of investment advisers is consistent
with the best interests of the Combined Company Stockholders.</P>

was also intended to prevent potential conflicts of interest and reciprocal practices between investment companies and securities
related businesses which might result in investment companies being organized, operated, managed, or their portfolio securities
selected in the interests of investment advisers.&nbsp;As with the 1940 Act in general, Section&nbsp;12(d)(3) was an attempt by

example, the SEC <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">was concerned that investment company sponsors, such
as investment banks, were using affiliated investment companies as a receptacle for illiquid and distressed securities.<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>15
</SUP></FONT>&nbsp;It was also concerned that investment banks were using the investment companies to acquire securities that
were subject to the investment banks&rsquo; underwriting endeavors in an effort to increase the banks&rsquo; underwriting capacity.<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: black"><SUP>16</SUP></FONT>&nbsp;Another
problematic practice that is sometimes discussed in conjunction with the concerns Section&nbsp;12(d)(3) was intended to address
is what is commonly referred to as &ldquo;propping.&rdquo; Propping occurred where a securities related business was in a position
to exercise control and influence over an investment company and took advantage of this position to advance its own pecuniary
interests by forcing the investment company to purchase or otherwise acquire the outstanding securities of the affiliated securities
related business, regardless of the value to the investment company, in an effort to &ldquo;prop&rdquo; up the value of the affiliate&rsquo;s
stock. </FONT></P>

and overreaching should not be a concern in the case of an adviser that is a downstream affiliate of a BDC. </FONT>Generally, the
greater percentage of an investment adviser owned by a company, the less likely it is that a conflict would favor the manager to
the detriment of the company, because as the ownership interest increases, the ability of the company to align the investment manager&rsquo;s
interests with its own increases accordingly. <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">By maintaining a 100% ownership
