WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Dec. 1, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Exchange Income Corporation (TSX:EIF) (the "Corporation") announced today that as a result of investor demand it has upsized its previously announced offering of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures ("Debentures") from $70,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures (the "Offering"). This offering is conducted by a syndicate of underwriters co-led by National Bank Financial Inc., Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and CIBC Capital Markets, and including BMO Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets Inc., Scotiabank, TD Securities Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Raymond James Ltd., AltaCorp Capital Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. (the "Underwriters").

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the redemption of certain debentures as set forth below and to reduce indebtedness under the credit facility of the Corporation. The Debentures will bear interest from the date of closing at 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 each year commencing June 30, 2018. The Debentures will each have a maturity date of December 31, 2022 (the "Maturity Date").

The Debentures will be convertible at the holder's option at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Corporation for redemption of the Debentures into common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a conversion price of approximately $51.50 per Common Share, being a conversion rate of 19.4175 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment as provided in the indenture governing the Debentures.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the redemption of the Corporation's 7 year 5.50% convertible senior unsecured debentures (the "September 2012 Debentures") maturing on September 30, 2019, as required, and to repay indebtedness under its credit facility. The redemption of the September 2012 Debentures is not conditional upon the completion of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 20, 2017. The Offering is subject to normal regulatory approvals, including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange of the listing of the Debentures and the Common Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Debentures. The Debentures will be offered in each of the provinces of Canada by way of a short form prospectus, and by way of private placement in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.
