Transaction summary
Acquired a controlling interest in a non-bank
mortgage-banking company with $325 million of
monthly production
Term loan provided to company to fund part of
purchase price in addition to growth capital and was
later converted to equity
• Finalized the purchase price in 2014 and negotiated
•
that all interim earnings would be retained by the

Investment thesis
Tightening regulatory conditions have created an
opportunity for strong, well-capitalized, non-bank
mortgage companies to take market share
• The company operates within a less competitive
niche of the market enabling it to generate higher
margins
• With additional capital, the company can expand into
other profitable loan products and leverage fixed cost
to further boost profitability

Status update
Closed the equity investment in September 2015 and
Company completed the purchase of an internet based
direct-to-consumer mortgage originator in Q2 2016.
Successfully completed integration in Q3 and have begun
to hire and scale platform in 2017
For 2016, origination volumes increased by more than 60%,
YOY, in 2016, and pretax profit expected to be up 15-20%
Build-out of platform infrastructure and risk management
systems substantially completed
While volume growth and operating results are expected to
decline during the first half of 2017 in response to the Q4
2016 increase in interest rates, FGMC expects second half
volume and profit to recover with the growth from the
internet direct-to-consumer lender and expansion of its
wholesale lending channel

IRR represents the annualized internal rate of return for a specified period, based on capital contributed, expected distributions received and the residual value of unrealized investments. Multiple
represents the ratio of (i) expected distributions received plus the residual value of unrealized investments to (ii) capital contributed. IRRS and multiples are net of deal-related expenses and gross of fund
expenses. IRRs and multiples reflect PIMCO's views at the time of investment, and may no longer be accurate or reflect PIMCO's current views. Expected holding period and deal size / peak equity are
subject to change. Underwritten IRR / multiple as of initial closing date. Current estimates of future returns may differ materially from the Underwritten IRR.
