Remara Credit Income Fund Strategy

The Fund, via securitised notes, will provide exposure to loans allocated to warehouse facilities originated by Dynamoney Ltd. Soda Capital Pty. Ltd., First Nations Finance Pty. Ltd., and Remara Credit Pty. Ltd.

1

ORIGINATION

The originators will provide a first loss equity note (collateral enhancement) set at a minimum of 5% in addition to the retained net interest margin (NIM) earned by the originators. In effect, given the inclusion of NIM, which will differ from warehouse to warehouse, the CE is likely to range from circa 7% to 8% (once a warehouse approximately reaches a life equal to the WALE of the underlying loan book).

2

DEAL STRUCTURING

Originators prioritise capital preservation with focus on prime borrowers. Each vertical has detailed specs on risk, default, security, and credit enhancement. Warehouse structuring involves senior funders, legal counsel, and Fund custodians.

3

ONGOING PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Remara reviews exposure monthly with full transparency. Covers loans, maturities, delinquencies, and default management processes. Ensures ongoing oversight and control of the portfolio.
