“We received considerable interest from investors in our notes and have closed another very successful issue, priced at the lowest-ever coupon for any offering by CMT,” said Atul Chandra, executive vice president and chief financial officer of HomeEquity Bank.
“Our bank has been delivering exceptional operating and financial results, which resonate well with investors, resulting in strong demand for these notes and the addition of a number of new investors to our program,” Chandra added. “Medium term notes are, and will continue to be, a key source of funding for our reverse mortgage business.”
A wholly-owned subsidiary of HomeEquity Bank, CMT offers the bank’s CHIP Reverse Mortgage and CHIP Open solutions.
