Newtek Sells Fourth Small Business Loan Securitization

Barry Sloane, President and Chief Executive Officer of Newtek Business Services, Inc. said, “We are thrilled to announce our second securitization sale this year, and our fourth to date. This is the first time in the Company’s history that we financed the uninsured portions of our SBA 7(a) government-guaranteed loans in two separate transactions within the same calendar year. The dramatic growth in our loan origination volume in 2013 over previous years, created the need to issue two separate financings, which we have chosen to combine into one issuance. Details of the securitization can be found on S&P’s website at www.standardandpoors.com.”

Barry continued, “Securitizations provide an attractive form of non-recourse financing and the collateral and securities issued are match-funded for term. Issuing securitizations enables us to repay our revolving credit facility with Capital One Bank, N.A., and increases our access to capital and hence the capability to continue to fund more loans for small businesses across all 50 states.

“In fact, we anticipate increasing our loan origination volume to a range of $230 million to $270 million in 2014 and, as a result, may either issue larger securitizations or come to the market more frequently on a go-forward basis..”
