TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - Home Capital Group Inc. ("Home Capital" or "the Company") (TSX: HCG) today announced that the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") issued an order approving the previously announced settlement of an enforcement proceeding commenced in April 2017 regarding the Company's disclosure in 2014 and 2015.

As previously announced, the Company entered into two agreements which comprise a global settlement of the OSC proceeding and related class action with each settlement being conditional on the approval of the other.
