/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S./

TORONTO, May 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Cliffside Capital Ltd. ("Cliffside") (TSXV:CEP) is pleased to announce that the limited partnerships which Cliffside consolidates into its financial results have negotiated new terms with CanCap Management Inc. ("CCMI") for the on-going acquisition of fully serviced automobile loans. The partnerships have been acquiring loans from CCMI since 2016. The new terms change the deferred purchase price for the loans by reducing the fixed monthly percentage payable to CCMI and introducing a new contingent component of the deferred purchase price which is linked to the future net income generated by the partnerships and is payable annually. The new terms apply to all of the loans owned by the partnerships as of January 1, 2018, as well as all loans acquired going forward. The new terms better align the price the partnerships pay with the future profitability of the fully serviced loans.
