Mortgage Company of Canada Provides Growth Update Following Settlement Agreement With Ontario Securities Commission

TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Mortgage Company of Canada Inc. ("MCC" or the "Company") today reported continued strong growth in assets following its recent settlement agreement with the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC").  Pursuant to the agreement, MCC redeemed shares owned by 9 investors, with a value of $290,580, which represented less than 1% of the $32.2 million raised from 147 investors during its first 13 months of operations.

MCC also offered to redeem the shares owned by any other investor who wanted to redeem their shares of MCC.  None of the remaining 138 investors elected to have their shares redeemed. Subsequent to the agreement, MCC has retained new legal counsel and initiated a process under which MCC shares are distributed exclusively through a registered exempt market dealer.

Management believes that MCC's operations have been strengthened by actions taken in response to the OSC review and settlement agreement. As of September 30, 2015, MCC's assets under management increased by approximately 13% over the previous month.   This increase in capital demonstrates continued investor confidence both in MCC's management team and in MCC as an investment opportunity. The Company continues to exceed its targeted annual yield of 9%, with an annualized year-to-date yield of 9.24% as at September 30, 2015.

The OSC order and the settlement agreement are available on the OSC's website at www.osc.gov.on.ca.
