Sierra Income Corporation announced the closing of an amendment to a revolving credit facility through Alpine Funding LLC, the company’s wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary. The closing of the amended facility results in an increase of Alpine’s leverage capacity from $150 million to $300 million.

“We are pleased with the increase in Sierra’s overall leverage capacity," said Seth Taube, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We intend to utilize the additional leverage as we continue to execute and expand our investment objective,” continued Taube.
