goeasy (GSY) has announced a C$50 million bought-deal offering to support the company’s accelerated growth.
A syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets has agreed to buy on a bought deal basis 425,000 common shares at C$118.50 per share for gross proceeds of C$50 million.
The underwriters have been granted the option to purchase up to an additional 15 per cent of the offering.
The offering is expected to close on or about November 21, 2022.
goeasy intends to use the net proceeds to support the growth of the company’s consumer loan portfolio and for general corporate purposes.
Jason Mullins, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the capital raise.
“We are currently producing an accelerated rate of growth, complemented by stable consumer credit performance, with 117% year over year loan growth in our most recent quarter resulting in record earnings. By issuing a modest amount of additional equity, we significantly increase our balance sheet capacity and improve our leverage profile, allowing us to utilize our $1.12 billion of available liquidity to continue executing our growth plan. As such, the business is now positioned to exceed the high end of our forecast for the consumer loan portfolio in future years, and we have the flexibility to capitalize on available growth opportunities in the market. We anticipate the Offering to be accretive to our adjusted earnings per share in the second half of 2023 and beyond.”
