NEW YORK - Rezul -- PRESS RELEASE

Homium Raises $10M Series A and Tokenizes First Home Equity Loans on Avalanche Blockchain

Already live in Colorado, Homium's platform launch marks the latest chapter in tokenized asset innovation and on-chain finance.

Homium, Inc., a home equity mortgage lender and securitization platform, has launched its tokenized home equity loans on Avalanche. Homium's shared appreciation mortgage provides homeowners with a novel way to borrow against their home equity without increasing their monthly debt burden. The first loans are live in Colorado, and the platform aims to expand to several other states. Through its platform and partnership with Securitize, Homium also offers a new investable asset to institutional investors via digital securities backed by homeowner equity designed to provide returns based on residential home price appreciation.

To further develop the platform and scale its lending business, Homium raised $10 million in a Series A funding round led by the Sorenson Impact Group and Blizzard, the Avalanche Ecosystem Fund. Also advising Homium is ATLAS SP Partners, which launched in early February 2023 following Apollo Global's acquisition of Credit Suisse's Securitized Products Group.

"The technical advancements behind Homium are compelling, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing its integration into the residential securitization market," said Jay Kim, CEO of ATLAS SP Partners.

Homium's blockchain-native format and transparent terms make its home equity offering unique as a product for both homeowners and investors. Instead of paying interest or monthly payments, homeowners commit a portion of their home's price appreciation, potentially unlocking equity for home improvements, debt consolidation, or passing on to their kids. Investors receive a tokenized asset tracking the price appreciation of a pool of shared appreciation home loans issued in real-time on the Homium platform. The result is a potentially powerful new financial product that may help free up historically trapped home equity and address housing affordability issues in a variety of scenarios.

"The reason we are so passionately committed to Homium is we believe it will play a critical role in the future of attainable housing," said David Battany, executive vice president, Capital Markets for Guild Mortgage. "It provides a materially lower monthly payment, which keeps more money in the borrower's pockets, improves their financial position and promotes sustainable home ownership."

Shared equity investments like Homium are a way for institutional investors to effectively partner with families and local governments to bolster homeownership and middle-class wealth creation, while reducing housing inequity and displacement. For this reason, Homium potential has attracted social impact partners, such as Realize Impact and Sorenson Impact Group.

"Homium is building a valuable new asset class for institutional investors, providing a new source of uncorrelated, inflation protected return in their core portfolios. For the first-time, institutions can invest side-by-side with homeowners, doing well and while doing good" said Tommy Mercein, CEO of Homium.

The Homium platform unites the parties needed to offer shared appreciation mortgage loans to homeowners and issue a standardized, fungible digital asset backed by a pool of those mortgages to qualified investors at scale. Homium's unique loan origination platform streamlines and automates the lending process by combining reliable data integration, intelligent valuation, and highly auditable origination protocols in an open business ecosystem for participating mortgage originators. Guild Mortgage, an industry leading mortgage originator and servicer, is offering its shared appreciation mortgage loans through the platform in multiple states, beginning in Colorado.

"Homeownership is the foundation of financial security for most Americans; it has been, and continues to be, the gateway to the American dream,'' said Jim Sorenson, chairman of the Sorenson Impact Group.

"As a social impact investor, we are most enthusiastic about how Homium will help enable more equitable and fair access to capital for economically disadvantaged homeowners," said Matt Eldridge, Executive Director of Realize Impact.

The potential to upgrade components of the real estate industry through blockchain has been discussed since the technology's early days. Over the past year and a half, the blockchain industry has witnessed a resurgence in focus on asset tokenization and the associated potential in on-chain finance, with Avalanche leading the charge. Homium marks the latest chapter in this story.
