TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Home Capital Group Inc. (“Home Capital”) (TSX:HCG) and its subsidiary Home Trust Company (“Home Trust” ) announce the closing of a previously disclosed private placement of residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) issued by Classic RMBS Trust (the “Series 2021-2 Notes” or the “Notes”), a securitization vehicle sponsored by Home Trust. The Series 2021-2 Notes are backed by a portfolio of near-prime, uninsured, residential mortgages and are composed of A, B and Z tranches that aggregate to $500 million.

The A tranche of $425 million was sold to accredited investors in Canada and qualified institutional buyers in the United States. The remaining $75 million of Notes, composed of the B and Z tranches, was retained by Home Trust.

The A Tranche is rated AAA(sf) by DBRS and Aaa(sf) by Moody’s. It was priced at an 85 basis point spread over the comparable term Government of Canada bond curve equating to an annual interest rate of 1.528%.

“The healthy investor demand for this RMBS offering demonstrates continuing market support for this program,” stated Brad Kotush, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Home Capital. “We expect that programmatic RMBS issuances will be a sustainable element of our ongoing funding strategy.”
