TORONTO, ONTARIO - (Marketwire - July 24, 2008) - C.A. Bancorp Inc. ("C.A. Bancorp") (TSX:BKP) and C.A. Bancorp Canadian Realty Finance Corporation (the "Corporation") (TSX:RF.PR.A) are pleased to announce that a preliminary prospectus had been filed with, and a receipt therefor issued by, the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.
The Offering
The Corporation is offering (the "Offering") units (the "Units") at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Share and one warrant (a "Warrant") to purchase one Series 1, Preferred Share (the "Preferred Shares"). Prospective purchasers may purchase Units by (i) cash payment, or (ii) an exchange (the "Exchange Option") of eligible securities of certain issuers ("Issuers") at the applicable exchange ratio. The Offering is for a minimum of 2,000,000 Units ($20,000,000) and a maximum of 10,000,000 Units ($100,000,000).
The Corporation's Class A Shares
The Corporation's investment objectives with respect to the Class A Shares are to:
i. Pay quarterly cash distributions, initially expected to be $0.19 per quarter per Class A Share or 7.6% per annum, based on the original issue price of $10.00 per Unit; and
ii. To preserve the net asset value of the Class A Shares.
Currently, C.A. Bancorp is the sole holder of Class A Shares and will continue to hold its Class A Shares. Any issuance of Class A Shares under this Offering will come from the Corporation's treasury.
The Warrants
Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Preferred Share at a subscription price of $24.50 at any time on or before 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 30, 2011.
The Preferred Shares
The Corporation's investment objectives with respect to the Preferred Shares are to:
i. Pay fixed cumulative preferential quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.4219 per Preferred Share representing a yield of 6.75% per annum on the original issue price of $25.00 per Preferred Share; and
ii. Return the original issue price of the Preferred Shares ($25.00 per Share) on March 31, 2018.
Impact of the Offering on the Outstanding Preferred Shares
The Preferred Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and trade under the symbol RF.PR.A.
On March 24, 2008, the Corporation instituted a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") in respect of the Preferred Shares. Pursuant to securities laws, the Corporation is not able to purchase the Preferred Shares during the Offering period or the period immediately preceding the filing of the preliminary prospectus. When permitted by law, subsequent to the completion of the Offering, the Corporation intends to utilize the NCIB.
Presently, the Corporation is primarily capitalized with Preferred Shares which rank in priority to the Class A Shares with respect to the payment of cash distributions and the repayment of capital on the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation.
C.A. Bancorp Ltd. (the "Manager") views the Preferred Shares as a form of financial leverage to the Class A Shares as the Preferred Shares have a fixed term, fixed cash distributions and fixed maturity value.
The Manager uses the maturity value of the Preferred Shares issued and outstanding and compares that to the tangible net book value of the Class A Shares issued and outstanding as a measure of debt (the Preferred Shares) to equity (the Class A Shares) ratio of the Corporation (the "Leverage Ratio"). As at June 30, 2008, the Leverage Ratio was 8.8 to 1.
The Offering will, regardless of whether the minimum Offering size or maximum Offering size is completed, cause the debt to equity ratio or the Leverage Ratio of the Corporation to decrease.
Assuming a minimum raise of $20,000,000 the Manager estimates the Leverage Ratio will drop to 1.6 to 1 (assuming no exercise of the Warrants into Preferred Shares) or 3.9 to 1 (assuming all Warrants are exercised into Preferred Shares).
Assuming a maximum raise of $100,000,000 the Manager estimates the Leverage Ratio will drop to 0.4 to 1 (assuming no exercise of the Warrants into Preferred Shares) or 3.0 to 1 (assuming all Warrants are exercised into Preferred Shares).
Exchange Option Deposit Date and Closing
The Exchange Option will be open for acceptance by holders of eligible securities of the Issuers until 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on August 22, 2008.
Exchange Ratios
The number of Units issuable for an eligible security will be determined by dividing (i) the weighted average trading price of such security on the TSX during the three consecutive trading days ended on August 22, 2008 as adjusted to reflect distributions declared by an Issuer that will not be received by the Corporation; by (ii) $10.00. The exchange ratios will be rounded down to four decimal places.
Acceptance
The Exchange Option may be accepted only by means of a book-entry deposit through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS"). Holders of securities of an Issuer who wish to elect the Exchange Option must request their investment adviser, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee to effect the transaction for them and should do so to ensure that their securities are included in the deposit to be made through CDS on August 22, 2008. Some nominees may require an earlier deadline for receiving instructions concerning a deposit.
