The Debentures are unsecured subordinated obligations of goeasy and bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year, commencing January 31, 2018. The Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holders into common shares of goeasy at a conversion price of $44.00 per common share. The Debentures will mature on July 31, 2022.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to support the strategic growth initiatives for easyfinancial, the Company's consumer lending platform, and for general corporate purposes.
