Xceed Mortgage Corporation Announces Clean-up Call of Xceed Mortgage Trust (Series 2007-T2)

TORONTO, July 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Xceed Mortgage Corporation [TSX: XMC] (the "Company"), a Canadian provider of residential mortgages, today announced it had exercised an optional clean-up call for Xceed Mortgage Trust Tranche 2007-T2 (the "Trust"), a securitization trust established by the Company in 2007.

Under the terms of the clean-up call, the Company re-purchased remaining mortgages in the trust in the amount of $3.1 million (net of provisions).  Additionally, D note holders of the Trust have been repaid $3.7 million approximately and E note holders have been repaid $10.7 million approximately using proceeds from the mortgages purchased by the Company and funds in the cash collateral account of the Trust. The Trust also returned to the Company remaining collateral deposits of $4.5 million, $3.1 million of which was used to purchase the mortgages noted above.

The Trust, having repaid all its note holders, as of July 17, 2012, will no longer have any outstanding public notes and therefore ceases activities as a public issuer.

The Trust is consolidated by the Company and this clean-up call results in a reversal of an estimated  net deficit consolidated by the Company of approximately $8.2 million (inclusive of amounts recorded in the Trust up to and including July 17, 2012) now that the deficit amount has been deducted on settlement with the junior note holders.  This reversal will be recorded as income through the Company's Consolidated Statement of Net Income for the quarter ending July 31, 2012 along with other amounts and negotiated fees settled as part of the transaction.

The Company is finalizing the accounting for the clean-up call in conjunction with the Company's auditors and therefore amounts noted above that are expected to impact the Company's July 31, 2012 results are preliminary estimates.  Additional history regarding the Trust and its accounting treatment can also be found in prior financial statements issued by the Company.
