Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation Expands Offering
Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Corporation”) (TSX: FC) has exciting news for its investors as it announces an increase in the size of its previously disclosed bought deal offering. With the adjustment, the Corporation engages in a revised agreement that will enable the sale of $25,000,000 worth of 5.50% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due December 31, 2032 (the “Debentures”) priced at $1,000 each, facilitated through a consortium of underwriters led by CIBC Capital Markets and TD Securities.
Details of the Offering and Use of Proceeds
The company has also granted underwriters an over-allotment option to acquire up to an additional $3,750,000 of Debentures at the same price. This successful positioning means that should the over-allotment option be exercised fully, the total gross proceeds might reach $28,750,000. The funds raised will primarily assist with debt repayment and support general corporate purposes, enhancing the company's financial health.
Anticipated Closure and Key Features of the Debentures
Expected to close around October 14, 2025, this offering is contingent on several conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 5.50%, payable semi-annually, with maturity set for December 31, 2032. Investors will have the option to convert their Debentures into common shares at a favorable conversion price of $14.06 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
Redemption Terms and Shareholder Benefits
Initially, the Debentures will not be redeemable before December 31, 2028. After this date, they may be redeemed partially or fully by the Corporation at par plus accrued interest, given that specific trading price conditions are met. This structured redemption plan offers a level of assurance for investors regarding their investment stability.
Security and Investment Strategy
The Debentures will be presented as direct, unsecured obligations of the Corporation, ranked subordinate to its senior debts. For those looking for flexibility, the Corporation reserves the right to repay the principal amount, on maturity or redemption, through the issuance of Shares, showcasing a unique approach that connects shareholder interests with corporate strategy.
Accessing Important Documents
A prospectus supplement detailing the Debentures will be filed shortly, ensuring that investors have full access to necessary documentation for their decision-making purposes. These documents will be accessible through the Corporation's channels under existing securities legislation.
