FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Newtek Business Services, Inc.
Selected to Service a $400 Million Loan Portfolio
Newtek’s Total Loan Servicing Portfolio Exceeds $1.0 Billion
NEW YORK – October 31, 2013 – Newtek Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEWT) (www.thesba.com) The Small Business Authority®, today announced that its subsidiary, SBA-licensed 7(a) non-bank lender, Newtek Small Business Finance, Inc. (“NSBF”), has been selected to service a $400 million portfolio of SBA 7(a) loans for a large institutional client. The servicing has transferred and is currently part of Newtek’s loan servicing portfolio.
Barry Sloane, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Newtek Business Services, Inc. said, “We are extremely pleased to announce that our total loan servicing portfolio has exceeded $1.0 billion, a level that not only represents a milestone in the Company’s operating history, but also exceeds our previously stated expectation, of at least $700 million for 2013, by a meaningful margin. Our ability to add this $400 million in loan servicing further demonstrates our industry-recognized expertise as a Standard and Poor’s select-rated small-balance commercial loan servicer. We expect to continue to grow the loan servicing aspect of our business across all 50 states through a combination of organic growth in loan origination volume and through the disciplined acquisition of third-party loan servicing opportunities. As such, during our third quarter 2013 financial results conference call on November 6, 2013, we look forward to updating
