Terra Firma Capital Corporation Provides Update on its "Strategic Alternatives Review"
2023年7月21日 - 8:30PM
Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX-V: TII) ("Terra Firma" or the
"Company"), a leading real estate finance company, is pleased to
offer an update on its ongoing strategic alternative review.
In April 2023, the Company retained Cormark
Securities Inc. (“Cormark”) to act as financial advisor to a
special committee of independent directors of the Company (the
“Special Committee”) in connection with the strategic alternative
review. Over the past several months, the Special Committee has
worked with Cormark and its legal advisors to explore strategic
alternatives that would maximize shareholder value and also attract
potential buyers to enhance outcomes for all stakeholders. These
efforts included both monetizing non-core assets and engaging with
prospective purchasers in connection with a potential sale of the
Company.
As a result of these endeavors, the Company has
monetized several of its major loans. Additionally, the
Company has considered several conditional non-binding offers and
entered into discussions with potential purchasers for the entire
Company. However, while the Company continues to explore a
potential sale of the entire Company, no concrete transaction on
terms acceptable to the Company has materialized thus far.
In light of the above, the Company's board of
directors has made the strategic decision to pursue the liquidation
alternative presented during the strategic review process, while
remaining open to a potential sale transaction should one
emerge.
In pursuing the liquidation alternative, Terra
Firma's primary objective will be to return capital to its
shareholders efficiently and promptly in order to achieve a value
commensurate with the underlying value of the portfolio. However,
in pursuing this objective, the Company also recognizes the
importance of executing the liquidation process in a manner that
considers the interests of all stakeholders.
The remaining assets of the Company’s as at July
13, 2023 were comprised of a net cash balance of approximately
$24.1mm plus other substantial assets of which the realizable value
has yet to be determined. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to recover the book value of its remaining
non-cash assets. In addition, the costs of the liquidation of the
Company’s remaining assets, the wind down of the Company’s
operations and the cost of structuring a transaction to return
capital to shareholders will reduce the amount of cash that will be
available to shareholders.
Terra Firma Capital Corporation will provide
further updates as appropriate. Shareholders and other interested
parties are encouraged to monitor the Company's announcements for
further information.
About Terra Firma Capital
Corporation
Terra Firma is a publicly traded real estate
finance company that provides real estate financings secured by
investment properties and real estate developments in the United

financing with flexible terms to real estate developers and owners
who require shorter-term loans to bridge a transitional period of

other Canadian financial institutions once the applicable
transitional period is over or the redevelopment is complete, or
from proceeds generated from the sale of the real estate
assets.
