SUPPLEMENT TO JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The information provided below was requested by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund Ltd. (collectively, “ FrontFour ”) in a letter, dated January 30, 2019, from FrontFour’s counsel to the Board of Directors of MCC.  Sierra, MCC and MDLY do not believe any of the information that was requested in the letter from FrontFour’s counsel is material or required to be disclosed.  However, in the interest of transparency and in an effort to avoid unnecessary and meritless litigation regarding the sufficiency of the disclosure in the Definitive Proxy Statement, MDLY has provided the requested information as set forth herein.

This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Page references in the below disclosures are to the Definitive Proxy Statement, and defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Without admitting in any way that the disclosures below are material or otherwise required by law, Sierra, MCC and MDLY make the following supplemental disclosures:

Additional Information Regarding Indications of Interest Submitted to MDLY

Below are terms of each non-binding indication of interest received by MDLY. The range of indicated stock and cash consideration per share of MDLY Class A Common Stock , to the extent specified, was $5.00 to $9.00 per share. This excludes any additional value attributed to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) liability, which certain bidders attribute as much as $145 million incremental value to. For further information on the TRA, please refer to page 31 of MDLY’s most recent 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed March 29, 2018, which is available in the investor relations section of the mdly.com website and also on file with the SEC.

The consideration contemplated by the non-binding indications of interest compares to the Class A MDLY merger consideration in the contemplated transaction of $6.80 per share with a mix of 40% stock and 60% cash (dollar equivalent based on the pro forma Combined Company’s net asset value per share of $7.06 as of September 30, 2018). For further information please refer to the Definitive Proxy Statement, which is available in the investor relations section of the mdly.com website and also on file with the SEC.

MDLY ran two separate processes seeking indications of interest regarding potential strategic transactions: one in which preliminary bids were received in July 2017, with final bids due in August 2017; and a second in which preliminary bids were received in late November/early December of 2017, with final bids due in January 2018.

In total, MDLY received eighteen non-binding indications of interest from twelve parties, including indications of interest for MDLY and for its assets. According to the various bidders, these indications of interest included the following metrics: (i) a purchase price per share ranging from $5.00 to $9.00, (ii) a premium over the then-market price of MDLY Class A Common Stock ranging from 25% to 47%, (iii) an equity value ranging from $147 million to $280 million, and (iv) an enterprise value ranging from $250 million to $450 million.

However, the two indications of interest from Bidder 1 and Bidder 2 submitted in July 2017 were preliminary in nature and no final proposals were submitted. Of the ten parties who submitted preliminary indications of interest in November and December of 2017, only one (Bidder X) submitted an indication of interest in the second round of that process. Moreover, as discussed below, negotiations with Bidder X did not result in an actionable transaction, and a number of issues remained unresolved when negotiations terminated. As a result, because each of the proposals submitted were non-binding, included various conditions and carve-outs, involved different forms of consideration (some of which was contingent), and in all but one case did not move to the point where documentation was discussed or deal terms negotiated, we believe it is impracticable and speculative to assign a particular value to any of the proposals described below.

On July 19, 2017, Bidder 1 submitted a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest for the acquisition of MDLY in an all cash transaction.  According to Bidder 1, the indication of interest contemplated a purchase price of $8.74 per share, a premium of approximately 30% over the then-market price of MDLY Class A Common Stock, and an enterprise value of $325 million.
