Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, May 1, 2017

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.
