TORONTO, March 26, 2013 /CNW/ - MCAN Mortgage Corporation ("MCAN", the "Company" or "we") announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Xceed Mortgage Corporation ("Xceed") for $1.75 per share, for a total consideration of approximately $53.0 million (the "Transaction") paid with a combination of cash and common shares of MCAN.  The Transaction will be effected pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and is expected to close within approximately 90 days.  The Transaction is subject to Xceed shareholder approval, court and regulatory approvals and other closing conditions as described below.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Xceed shareholders will, for each share held, receive at their election, subject to adjustment: (i) 0.118 MCAN common shares or (ii) $1.75 in cash, or a combination thereof, subject to a maximum of $30.3 million in aggregate cash being paid.  The consideration represents a premium of 16.67% to Xceed's closing price per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") as at March 25, 2013 and a 7.03% premium to Xceed's 30-day volume weighted average price per share as at close of markets on March 25, 2013.  Assuming the maximum cash consideration is elected to be received by the Xceed shareholders, the equity component of the purchase price will be approximately $22.7 million and, upon completion of the Transaction, existing Xceed shareholders will own approximately 7.54% of MCAN on a fully diluted basis.

This Transaction provides MCAN with a unique opportunity to acquire an established mortgage origination and underwriting platform that is expected to deliver incremental asset growth and potential for increased income for MCAN.  Cash and other liquid assets, including Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC") insured mortgages, are expected to represent a significant proportion of Xceed's assets at closing. In addition, the acquisition provides new equity for MCAN on a cost effective basis, providing it with capacity to achieve its growth objectives.

"We are pleased to announce this strategic acquisition that will add scale to our operating platform and expand our origination capability for single family residential mortgages," said William Jandrisits, MCAN's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect the addition of Xceed's CMHC origination and underwriting capabilities combined with MCAN's existing operations and superior access to capital will contribute to long-term, sustainable earnings. In addition, the acquisition of Xceed will allow MCAN to work more closely with MCAP Commercial LP to further lever MCAN's single family residential operations.  MCAP is currently the sub-servicer of Xceed's mortgages."

Michael Misener, MCAN's Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, commented: "We are pleased to welcome Xceed's team of experienced underwriting professionals who will work with us through all phases of the origination, funding and portfolio management of the single family mortgage business."

Xceed is an attractive acquisition target as it has wound down its securitization vehicles in recent years, decreasing its exposure to capital markets. MCAN expects the acquisition to benefit the Company in the following key ways:

  • Xceed's origination and underwriting infrastructure and technology will provide support to MCAN's existing growth plans.
  • Xceed's database management and reporting capabilities will enhance MCAN's portfolio management.
  • The acquisition of Xceed's CMHC approved lender status (subject to regulatory approval) will provide MCAN with the opportunity to expand the scope of its operations.

MCAN expects that the ongoing management of the Xceed business will be integrated quickly following completion of the Transaction, as renewal and underwriting services will continue to be provided by Xceed (as a wholly owned subsidiary of MCAN), and subservicing services will continue to be provided by MCAP.

The Board of Directors of Xceed, acting on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors and a fairness opinion provided by Canaccord Genuity Corp., has unanimously approved the Transaction and recommended that Xceed shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction.  Xceed's directors, senior management and certain other major shareholders, representing, in aggregate, approximately 48.54% of Xceed's outstanding shares, have entered into customary lock-up agreements pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote their shares in favour of the Transaction.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including: (i) court approval; (ii) the approval of not less than 66⅔%  of the votes cast by Xceed shareholders at a meeting to consider the Transaction; (iii) stock exchange and regulatory approvals; and (iv) the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The Arrangement Agreement provides for, among other things, a non-solicitation covenant on the part of Xceed, subject to customary "fiduciary out" provisions and a right in favour of MCAN to match any superior proposal.  The Arrangement Agreement also provides for a termination fee of $2 million payable by Xceed or MCAN in certain specified circumstances and reciprocal expense reimbursement payments of $750,000 in certain specified circumstances.  Xceed shareholders are expected to vote on the Transaction at the end of May 2013.

A material change report, which provides more details on the Transaction and the Arrangement Agreement will be filed with the Canadian securities regulators and will be available under MCAN's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on MCAN's website at www.mcanmortgage.com. The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement will be summarized in Xceed's management information circular and proxy circular, which will be filed and mailed to Xceed shareholders and available under Xceed's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Forward-Looking Information

This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the proposed acquisition by MCAN of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Xceed and certain strategic benefits and operational, competitive and cost efficiencies expected to result from the Transaction.  These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because of the context of the statements and often include words such as MCAN "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "plans", "estimates" or words of a similar nature.  These statements are based on current expectations, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause  actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.  Some of the factors that could cause such differences include legislative or regulatory developments, competition, technology change, global market activity, interest rates, changes in government and economic policy and general economic conditions in geographic areas where MCAN operates.  Reference is made to the risk factors disclosed in MCAN's Annual Information Form dated March 21, 2012 which are incorporated herein by reference.  The completion of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, termination rights and other risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, court, shareholder and regulatory approvals.  Accordingly there can be no assurance that the Transaction will occur, or that it will occur on the terms and conditions contemplated in this press release.  The Transaction could be modified, restructured or terminated.  There can also be no assurance that the strategic benefits and operational, competitive and cost efficiencies expected to result from the Transaction will be fully realized.  These and other factors should be considered carefully and undue reliance should not be placed on MCAN's forward-looking statements. Subject to applicable securities law requirements, MCAN does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.

About MCAN
