Home Capital Group Inc. (TSX:HCG) (“Home Capital” or the “Company”) (TSX:HCG) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Home Trust Company, has obtained a letter of commitment for a two-year, $500 million standby secured funding facility (the “Credit Facility”) from two Canadian Schedule 1 banks.

The Credit Facility will replace a $2 billion credit facility provided by a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. that matures at the end of June 2018. The Company does not intend to draw on the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business as its current liquidity profile provides sufficient liquidity and funding for its business activities. Any draws on the Credit Facility will be secured against a portfolio of mortgages originated by Home Trust Company.

Brad Kotush, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented: “This Credit Facility is better aligned with our current liquidity and funding profile and results in a lower aggregate cost than the existing credit facility it is replacing. We have significantly reduced our reliance on demand deposits for funding. This facility will provide us with standby liquidity in excess of the Company’s current and planned demand deposit exposures when combined with our current level of liquid assets.”

The terms of the Credit Facility include a 0.75% upfront commitment fee, a 0.60% annual standby charge on any unused portion, and an interest rate on the drawn portion equal to 3-month CDOR plus 150 basis points. The new Credit Facility is expected to close, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, immediately after the maturity of the existing credit facility.
