Dealnet Finalizes New $15 Warehouse Facility and Completes First Advance

TORONTO, Jan. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Dealnet Capital Corp. ("Dealnet" or the "Company") (TSXV: DLS), is pleased to announce that it has finalized the previously announced $15 million warehouse facility with a Canadian life insurance company ("LifeCo Warehouse Facility") and that today it has taken its first advance of approximately $8.5 million under the facility.

The LifeCo Warehouse Facility provides the Company with enhanced flexibility and diversity and at a lower cost of funds. The LifeCo Warehouse Facility is revolving in nature with no stand-by fee which allows the Company to draw down against the facility when needed, but also repay funds upon a securitization transaction in order to minimize interest costs.

"The closing and first advance under this new warehouse facility is another step towards the Company executing on its 2018 business plan. This new and enhanced warehouse facility provides the Company with considerable flexibility, and replaces existing capacity at a significantly lower cost of funds." said Brent Houlden, Dealnet's Interim Chief Executive Officer.
