TORONTO, May 1, 2017 /CNW/ - Home Capital Group Inc. ("The
Company" TSX: HCG) announced that its subsidiary, Home Trust,
expects to receive an initial draw today of $1 billion from its $2
billion credit line provided by a facility led by the
Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan, the terms of which were
previously announced by the Company on April
27, 2017.
Access to these funds is intended to mitigate the impact of a
decline in Home Trust's High Interest Savings Account (HISA)
deposit balances.
The balance of HISA deposits is expected to be approximately
$391 million on Monday, May 1 after settlements of Friday's
transactions.
Total Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) deposits,
including Oaken and broker GICs, stood at $12.86 billion as at April
28.
Home Capital also advises that the terms of the agreement will
have a material impact on earnings, and will leave the Company
unable to meet previously announced financial targets.
Home Trust's GICs and HISA deposits are eligible for Canada
Deposit Insurance Corp. coverage.
