Industry Overview The mortgage business in Canada has changed dramatically over the past few years creating a significant squeeze on credit availability

2008: Maximum amortization period reduced from 40 years to 35 years Home buyers required to have a minimum down payment of 5% up from 0% down previously New loan documentation standards introduced

2010: Stress testing for insured mortgages at the Bank of Canada’s 5-year posted rate Maximum amount borrowers can refinance reduced to 90% from 95% Loan to Value (LTV) Non-owner occupied investment properties required to have a minimum 20% down payment

2011: Maximum amortization periods for government-backed insured mortgages reduced to 30 years from 35 years Maximum amount borrowers can refinance reduced to 85% from 90% LTV Maximum amortization period reduced to 25 years from 30 years

2012: Maximum amount borrowers can refinance reduced to 80% from 85% LTV Gross Debt Service ratio limited to 39% of income (GDS = income spent on mortgage, property taxes and heating) Total Debt Service ratio limited to 44% of income (TDS = household income spent on all debts including the mortgage) Insured mortgages limited to homes priced at < $1M. Homes > $1M must have a minimum down payment of 20% Homeowners limited to borrowing 65% of their homes value through HELOC’s (down from 80%)

2016/17: Down payment on the portion of a home value > $500K raised to 10% from 5% Al insured loans must qualify for insurance at the Bank of Canada five-year fixed posted rate Stress test for uninsured mortgages at the greater of Bank of Canada 5-year benchmark or contract rate +2% Increased scrutiny on LTV ratio limits including no bundling of mortgages to circumvent LTV limits

With unsecured consumer debt at record highs in one of the most leveraged periods of consumer spending in recent history, these recent changes were implemented to force the hand of the average consumer to clean up the family balance sheet.

The Opportunity • Industry changes have created an opportunity to provide flexible financing options

• The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions guidelines on Mortgage Underwriting Principles for regulated, deposit taking, tier 1 lenders (i.e. banks) ensure prudent residential underwriting. Mortgage renewals now trigger an automatic review of the applicant’s financial position subject to the more stringent lending criteria.

As a result:

Many do not meet the new standards and are unable to renew - despite mortgages in good standing Many cannot meet the new debt service ratios and are denied loans - despite sufficient LTV Many self-employed (a significant and growing portion of the Canadian economy) have a difficult time

proving income, or keep their income low for tax purposes, which has increased loan rejections Many are denied loans due to credit issues, creating a need to consolidate and repair debt - including

consumer proposals Many new immigrants are asset rich, but cash poor, and/or have limited credit history and do not qualify In addition, more onerous terms for commercial real estate borrowers has increased credit demand

• Squire has greater flexibility in these areas than tier 1 lenders and can help fulfill this demand while still employing a disciplined underwriting approach to reduce the risk of bad debts

• Canadians have historically been very prudent borrowers. Less than 0.5% of all mortgage holders with the country’s largest banks are in arrears. This number has been stable for more than two decades, in times of high and low unemployment and/or interest rates, and a strong or weak Canadian dollar. 8
