Red Deer, Alberta / TheNewswire / November 29, 2018: Rifco Inc. (TSXV: RFC) ("Rifco" or the "Company") the largest publicly-traded alternative auto finance company in Canada, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Rifco National Auto Finance ("Rifco"), has completed its renewal with a Canadian Schedule 1 Chartered Bank ("Bank"). The facility has no formal limit but has a targeted annual utilization maximum of $40M.
The Company has been receiving funding from this Bank since July 2012.
The renewed facility limit will accommodate new loan origination growth. Previously securitized loans are not included in the utilization calculation for the new facility. The new facility contains an increase in cash holdback levels offset by a relaxation in certain covenant and trigger levels that are expected to allow the facility to operate more efficiently. The renewal brings the facility back into compliance with all financial covenants and will trigger immediate cash holdback releases and funding availability in accordance with the facility parameters. Rifco has five funding facilities that total $205M with over $100M in unused availability.
Rifco employs a balanced approach for loan portfolio funding of equity, bank borrowing, subordinated debt and loan securitization funders. Management remains confident that access to additional funding for future growth will continue to be available as required.
