GOEASY LTD. ANNOUNCES PRICING OF US$400 MILLION OF SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES

goeasy Ltd. has priced $400-million (U.S.) aggregate principal amount of 7.625 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2029. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of goeasy's current and future subsidiaries. The company is also expected to enter into a currency swap agreement to fix the foreign currency exchange rate for the proceeds from the offering, which it expects will reduce the effective cost of borrowing of the notes when converted into Canadian currency.

goeasy estimates the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately C$532 million, based on the Bank of Canada daily rate on February 16, 2024 for the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses, and subject to adjustment as a result of the Currency Swap. goeasy intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes.

The offering of the Notes is expected to close on February 23, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
