goeasy Ltd. Announces $500 Million Increase to Securitization Facility
05 Julho 2022 - 9:30AM
goeasy Ltd. (TSX: GSY), (“
goeasy” or the
“
Company”), one of Canada’s leading non-prime
consumer lenders, announced today a $500 million increase to its
existing revolving securitization warehouse facility (the
“
Securitization Facility”).
The Company has increased its Securitization
Facility from $900 million to $1.4 billion. Additionally, the
amendment to the Securitization Facility incorporates key
modifications including improved eligibility criteria for consumer
loans, as well as pool concentration limits, resulting in increased
funding capacity. The lending syndicate for the Securitization
Facility continues to consist of National Bank Financial Markets,
Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada, and the facility
continues to bear interest on advances payable at the rate of
1-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus
185 bps. Based on the current 1-month CDOR rate of 2.23% as of June
30, 2022, the interest rate would be 4.08%. The Company will
continue utilizing an interest rate swap agreement to generate
fixed rate payments on the amounts drawn to assist in mitigating
the impact of increases in interest rates. Proceeds from the
Securitization Facility will be used for general corporate
purposes, primarily funding the growth of the Company’s consumer
loan portfolio.
“Remaining well capitalized is essential to
achieving our 3-year plan, which includes growing the consumer loan
book by 75%, from $2 billion at the end of last year to over $3.5
billion in 2024. Increasing our funding capacity by another $500
million provides us with almost $1.1 billion in total forward
liquidity, which is sufficient to fund our organic growth into the
second quarter of 2025,” said Jason Mullins, goeasy’s President and
Chief Executive Officer, “The increase to our securitization
facility and the support of our banking syndicate, particularly
amidst the current economic backdrop, is another testament to the
strength and stability of our business.”
