E-Loan's estimated IPO price range lowered

WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - Online mortgage information provider E-Loan Inc. said Thursday that the estimated price range for its initial public offering of 3.5 million common shares was lowered to $9-11 per share from $11-13.

No reason was given by the Dublin, Calif., company, which disclosed the lower range in an amended filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

It still plans to sell 3.495 million of the shares while a stockholder, the E-Loan Foundation, a charitable group, sells the other 5,000 shares, the company said.

The underwriters are Goldman Sachs, Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette and Hambrecht & Quist, who can buy another 525,000 shares if there is heavy demand for the 3.5 million shares.

The shares are expected to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol EELN.

The company will sell an additional $12.5 million worth of shares in a private placement after the IPO closes.

The company, through its Web site, eloan.com, allows borrowers to search through more than 50,000 products provided by over 70 lending sources. They can analyze and compare loans online as well as receive unbiased loan recommendations based on their personal criteria and financial information.

E-Loan claims that it offers origination cost savings of over 50 percent compared to traditional mortgage brokers or single source lenders by eliminating the commissioned loan agent, who typically charges an origination fee of 1.25-1.50 percent of the loan amount, the filing said.

E-Loan said its origination fee is 0.625 percent of the loan amount.

It is the exclusive mortgage provider for loan centers that it has established with leading web sites, including Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) and E*Trade Group Inc. (Nasdaq:EGRP - news).

E-Loan plans to use the estimated net proceeds of $42.7 million for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

One of E-Loan's board members is Tim Koogle, the chief executive officer and chairman of Yahoo.

From SEC S1 6/22/99 -Shareholders before and after the offering & other stuff.

Manny you going to have a go at it or not?
=====================================

Excerpts from SEC S1 filing dated 6/22/99. (Important information)

This is an initial public offering of shares of common stock of E-LOAN, Inc. Of the 3,500,000 shares of common stock being offered, 3,495,000 shares are being sold by E-LOAN and 5,000 shares are being sold by a selling stockholder, the E-LOAN Foundation, a charitable foundation established by E-LOAN and administered by the Community Foundation Silicon Valley. See "Principal and Selling Stockholders". E-LOAN will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares being sold by the selling stockholder.

Immediately following and conditioned upon the closing of the initial public offering, E-LOAN will sell to Forum Holdings, Inc. in a private placement additional shares of common stock valued at $12,500,000 based on the initial public offering price less the underwriting discount.

At the request of E-LOAN, the underwriters have reserved, at the initial public offering price, up to 300,000 shares of common stock for sale to individuals designated by E-LOAN who have expressed an interest in purchasing shares in the offering.........

REVENUES

Revenues increased sequentially each quarter throughout 1998 from $0.5 million to $3.0 million and increased $1.8 million from the fourth quarter to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Substantially all of these increases resulted from growth in the number of loans closed and the initiation of E-LOAN's loan origination and sale operations in June 1998. E-LOAN did not significantly change its pricing during 1998 or the first quarter of
1999. E-LOAN expects that the rate of its revenue growth in future periods will decline from the rates of revenue growth experienced in recent quarters. In particular, E-LOAN expects that its revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 1999 will be lower than or flat relative to the first quarter of 1999. Recent increases in interest rates have reduced the number of refinancing applications received by E-LOAN, which has reduced the number of loans E-LOAN expects to originate. In addition, a significant increase in the number of purchase loan applications, which take substantially longer to close relative to refinancing loan applications, also will contribute to lower loan volumes and, therefore, lower revenues in the quarter ending June 30, 1999, as compared to the first quarter of 1999. E-LOAN expects revenues derived from its loan origination and sale operations to continue to increase as a percentage of its total revenues.
