All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars
Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TII) (the “Company” or “Terra Firma”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to extend the secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a financial institution for a six-month term and to increase credit limit of the Facility from $10 million to $20 million. The agreement also provides the Company an option to extend the Facility for a subsequent six-month period. The Facility will be used to fund and warehouse new investments while raising syndication and/or co-investment capital and other general corporate purposes.
“Coming into the third quarter, we identified a need to increase our line of credit primarily to accommodate a large number of transactions expected to close in the near term. The increased line will provide us the opportunity to warehouse the loans until they are syndicated to investors”, commented Glenn Watchorn, CEO.
About Terra Firma
Terra Firma is a full service, publicly traded real estate finance company that provides real estate financings secured by investment properties and real estate developments throughout Canada and the United States.

These loans are typically repaid with lower cost, longer-term debt obtained from 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. Terra Firma offers a full spectrum of real estate financing under the guidance of strict corporate governance, clarity and transparency.
