April 24 (Reuters) - Home Capital Group Inc HCG.TO said founder and former CEO Gerald Soloway, who has been accused by regulators of making "materially misleading statements" to investors, will step down from the board once a replacement is found.

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) on Wednesday accused Home Capital, Canada's biggest non-bank mortgage lender, of making "materially misleading statements" to investors.

The regulator issued allegations against former the company's Chief Executives Soloway and Martin Reid and current Chief Financial Officer Robert Morton and set a hearing on the matter for May 4.

Home Capital Group also said on Monday that Morton "will assume responsibilities for special projects outside the financial reporting group" after the company files its first-quarter results. Blowes, a former CFO, will assume the role on an interim basis.

Home Capital Group said on Friday it would defend itself against allegations by regulators that it withheld information about fraud by mortgage brokers.
