Mill City Ventures Participates in $1.25M Short Term Insurance Settlement, Continuing to Pursue Additional Lending in Settled Claims, Asset-Based Loans, Real Estate Backed Loans and Other Bespoke Lending Opportunities

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (OTCQB: MCVT), a non-bank lender and specialty finance company announced today its funding of a settled insurance claim. Mill City's portion of participation in the settlement is approximately $1.25M at maturity. The investment has a maturity date 120 days from purchase.

Mill City Chief Executive Officer Douglas M. Polinsky said, "As the opportunities to participate in additional settled insurance claims present themselves, we move swiftly to participate. In our view the settled claims represent a favorable risk and reward proposition. The claims purchases represent a higher return lower risk investment from our perspective. In addition, we can provide a valuable service in helping people due money on adjudicated or finalized settlements to wait no longer than necessary. We continue to pursue additional lending in settled claims, asset-based loans, real estate backed loans and other bespoke lending opportunities."

An adjudicated or final settlement is one where we fund the amount of the settlement to an intermediary who purchases the settlement from the payee in advance of the payor, usually an insurance company, making the settlement payment. This is economically equivalent to making a short term loan backed by the payment of the settlement.

We continue to work diligently with NASDAQ to meet applicable listing requirements.
