TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - CHIP Mortgage Trust ("CMT" or the "Trust") today announced that it has concluded the sale of $175 million of senior medium term notes (the "Notes").  The dealer syndicate for the sale was led by Scotiabank and RBC Capital Markets and included BMO Capital Markets, CIBC World Markets, National Bank Financial Markets and TD Securities. The Notes have a coupon of 4.244%, are rated AAA (sf) by DBRS Limited and have an expected final payment date of January 28, 2030.

CMT will use the proceeds of this issue to refinance outstanding indebtedness, acquire mortgages originated by HomeEquity Bank, and fund ongoing operations.

"Strong investor support has resulted in another very successful issue of medium term notes by CHIP Mortgage Trust" said Atul Chandra, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, HomeEquity Bank. "HomeEquity Bank's exceptional operating and financial results as Canada's leading provider of reverse mortgages resonated well with investors and drove very strong demand for these Notes. Medium term notes are, and will continue to be, a key source of funding for our rapidly growing reverse mortgage business."
