Dominion Lending Centres Announces Implementation of Quarterly Dividend

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dominion Lending Centres Inc. (TSX:DLCG) (“DLC” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the implementation of a quarterly dividend with respect to its class A common shares (the "Common Shares"). The Board of Directors has declared an inaugural cash dividend of $0.03 per Common Share that will be payable on June 15, 2022 to shareholders of record on June 1, 2022. The dividend will be designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. While the Corporation continues to prioritize the allocation of free cash flow to growth initiatives and debt reduction, DLC's strong financial outlook and operating results have enabled the implementation of the quarterly dividend to further augment shareholder returns.

Gary Mauris, Executive Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to announce the commencement of a quarterly dividend for our shareholders. Since the corporate reorganization completed on December 31, 2020, we have been focused on maximizing shareholder value through strong operational performance as well as simplifying our overall capital and corporate structure. The Corporation announced record results throughout 2021 including total funded volumes of over $78 billion, refinanced our credit facilities at a significantly lower cost of capital, acquired the remaining 30% of Newton that DLC did not already own as well as achieved strong recruiting results ending the year with over 7,750 mortgage professionals. Going forward, we continue to focus on driving funded volume and free cash flow growth, while well-positioned to pay down debt and return capital to our shareholders via the announced dividend.”
