goeasy Ltd. (GSY) has closed its offering of US$320 million 4.375% senior unsecured notes maturing on May 1, 2026.

Proceeds from the sale of the notes will be deposited in an escrow account, pending the closing of the company’s previously announced acquisition of LendCare Holdings Inc. 

“We are pleased to have completed the issuance of our unsecured notes as part of the financing plan to support our recently announced acquisition of LendCare,” said Jason Mullins, goeasy’s President & Chief Executive Officer.

“The total demand, which was in excess of two times the size of our initial offering, is a testament to the strength of our business model and the confidence in the Company to execute this strategic investment,” added Mr. Mullins.

“The 5-year 4.375% notes also marked an improvement in our cost of funding, with the coupon rate reducing by a full one percentage point from the last notes offering completed less than 18 months ago. Furthermore, this capital raise contributes to realizing a portion of our previously stated synergies related to the transaction.”
