Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
Article content TORONTO — Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. Article content This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. Article content 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge. Article content A Material Change Report and the amended Credit Facility agreement will be filed on SEDAR+ at Article content About Accord Financial Corp.

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as 'may', 'will', 'expect', 'intend', 'estimate', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'continue', 'plans' or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements, management's beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding the financial position of the Company and the ability of the Company to repay or refinance its outstanding debt obligations. Forward-looking statements are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions that while believed by management to be reasonable, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties including the Company's overall liquidity and capital resource position and its ability to repay its debt obligations when due and those risks identified in the Accord's periodic filings with Canadian securities regulators. If any or all of the Company's outstanding debt obligations are not renewed or replaced upon expiration of their terms, and if the Company is unsuccessful in its ability to generate additional capital from sales of portfolio assets and/or business units and additional alternative financing arrangements to repay same on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, the Company may not be able to continue to finance its operations and operate as a going concern. See Accord's most recent annual information form and most recent management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition for a detailed discussion of the risk factors affecting Accord. Such forward-looking information represents management's best judgment based on information currently available.
