2019 Corporate/Debt Restructuring 11 2019 Financing Activities Use of Proceeds Raised net proceeds of $21.7 million through a public bond offering of 7.125% unsecured, unsubordinated notes in June 2019 Raised net proceeds of approximately $15.5 million in the first half of 2019 through the at - the - market (ATM) offering facility Replaced the prior secured, variable rate revolving credit facility with unsecured fixed rate notes: • Provides greater flexibility to incur additional indebtedness on more favorable terms • Reduced significant banking charges related to the servicing of the credit facility • Reduces credit exposure to a single asset class (i.e., residential fix - and - flip) and • Provides greater flexibility to lend capital to asset classes with compelling loan to value prospects. Raised gross proceeds of $11.5 million by selling 2.3 million common shares in a public offering in July and August 2019 including the over - allotment shares. Intended to fund new real estate loans going forward and provide additional working capital
Restructuring Impact Short - term: ▪ $30.6 million paid towards principal on the credit facility during Q2 2019 ▪ Credit constraints temporarily slowed the growth of the mortgage loan portfolio ▪ Earnings per share were adversely impacted in the second quarter of 2019 due to the increased share count and substantial non - recurring costs associated with the termination of the prior credit facility (majority of which was non - cash expense) Long - term: ▪ Stronger balance sheet and greater flexibility to originate new loans ▪ Greater access to capital : debt offerings similar to the recent notes offering provide an attractive option to raise flexible non - dilutive capital on favorable terms ▪ Favorable outlook for the second half of the year , as well as the long - term prospects for the business 12
