Transition to Advanced Capital as Administration and Management Services Provider
SHARBOT LAKE, ON, April 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation ("FMIC" or the "Company") announced today that in order to best facilitate its previously announced Orderly Wind-Up Plan as described in the management information circular of the Company dated October 31, 2024 (the "Circular"), it has entered into an administration agreement and a management agreement, each dated April 2, 2025, with Advanced Capital Corporation ("Advanced Capital") whereby Advanced Capital or its affiliates will provide administration and management services to FMIC (the "Advanced Administration Agreement" and the "Advanced Management Agreement", collectively the "Advanced Agreements").
Pursuant to the Advanced Agreements, Advanced Capital and/or its affiliates will provide the services necessary for FMIC to continue to wind-down its mortgage portfolio and return capital to investors as part of the Orderly Wind-Up Plan (as described in the Circular). Advanced Capital's term as manager and administrator is expected to commence on May 1, 2025.
In connection with the execution of the Advanced Agreements, the Company also entered into amending agreements, each dated April 1, 2025, with Pillar Financial Services Inc. ("Pillar") and W.A. Robinson Asset Management Ltd. (previously, W.A. Robinson & Associates Ltd.) ("W.A. Robinson"), respectively, to amend: (i) the Amended and Restated Administration Agreement dated June 21, 2008 between FMIC and Pillar; and (ii) the Investment Advisory and Fund Management Agreement dated June 21, 2008 between FMIC and W.A. Robinson in order to provide for termination of those agreements for no additional payment in connection with the replacement of Pillar and W.A. Robinson with Advanced Capital. The agreements with Pillar and W.A. Robinson will terminate upon commencement of Advanced Capital's term as manager and administrator.
The Advanced Agreements are for an initial term of one year and will automatically renew for a second year provided FMIC continues to hold mortgages and has not completed its wind-up. The Company also retains the ability to retain Advanced Capital for a further successive period, with fees to be negotiated in the event that FMIC has not been wound-up within the next two years.
"We are pleased to have completed the transition of management services to Advanced Capital, ensuring we have support to complete the Orderly Wind-up Plan and at fees more in line with the current activity of the Company," said Meghan Davis, Interim Chair of the Board of FMIC. "We thank Pillar and W.A. Robinson for their many years of support and management of the Company and we look forward to finishing the wind-up and returning capital to investors."
"Advanced Capital and it's management team are pleased to have been chosen to complete the orderly wind-up of FMIC," added Michael Hapke, President and CEO of the Advanced Group. "Our team and group of companies are well-positioned to quickly assess and skillfully manage the wind-up process with return of capital to shareholders as our top priority"
As noted in FMIC's press release dated March 11, 2025, FMIC intends to return capital to investors through redemptions pursuant to the Pro Rata Redemption Plan described in Circular, and monthly dividends will no longer be paid.
