CFI COMPLETES $2MILLION
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
West Palm Beach, Florida--December 5, 1997--CFI Mortgage Inc. (Nasdaq:
CFIM) today said that it has consummated its offering of $2 million of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock issued and sold on December 3, 1997. The offering
was made in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, to institutional investors.
Christopher Castoro, president and chief executive officer, said that as a
result of certain equity-based covenants in the company's existing credit
facilities, now totaling about $125 million, he believes the placement "will
allow CFI to increase its warehouse/accumulation credit lines. This could make
it possible for the company to look forward to attaining its goal of a
securitization."
Presently, CFI's credit lines include a $50 million warehouse line from
Bank One, Dallas, a $50 million accumulation line from Nikko Financial Services,
Inc., and approximately $25 million from other sources.
The rapidly-growing Florida-based mortgage company, which completed a $5
million initial public offering in early June 1997, has since expanded its
operations from Florida into five states.
The development of an infrastructure capable of managing and processing the
Company's growth, including the installation of a wide area computer network and
the bringing abroad of a management staff with many years of executive
experience in the industry's largest firms, has been accomplished thus far this
year, Castoro said, together with the development of subprime origination
platforms well staffed and equipped in Anaheim Hills, California; Knoxville,
Tennessee; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois, and in Tampa and Orlando,
Florida.
Castoro said that the increased equity provides the Company with several
other important financial benefits. Among them, he said, was that larger credit
lines will allow CFI to hold aggregated lines for a longer period of time, thus
allowing for larger positive interest income, and to receive better prices for
their products in the marketplace.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option
of the holder thereof into one share of Common Stock, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments, and shall automatically convert after two years. CFI Mortgage shall
have the option under certain circumstances to elect to force conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
The Series A Preferred Stock and the underlying Common Stock have not yet
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any securities
laws of any state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the
United States or any other state or other jurisdiction absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements.
CFI is a rapidly growing mortgage company focused on the origination,
purchase and sale of nonconforming subprime and conventional loans on
one-to-four unit properties through its retail, wholesale and consumer finance
divisions. Its principal emphasis at this time is on the origination and
purchase of B/C subprime loans.
