Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 13, 2017) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) (TSX: AI.DB) (TSX:
AI.DB.A) (TSX: AI.DB.B) ("Atrium") is pleased to report that it has closed its previously announced public offering of $22 million
aggregate principal amount of 5.30% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of Atrium due June 30, 2024 with a syndicate of
underwriters bookrun by TD Securities Inc. and RBC Capital Markets and co-led by CIBC Capital Markets, and including Scotiabank,
BMO Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., GMP Securities L.P., Industrial Alliance Securities
Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. Atrium has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional $3.3
million aggregate principal amount of debentures, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of up to 30 days
following today's closing.
The debentures will trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "AI.DB.C".
Atrium will use the net proceeds of the offering to repay existing indebtedness under its revolving operating credit facility,
which will then be available to be drawn, as required, for general corporate purposes, particularly funding future mortgage loan
opportunities.
The debentures mature on June 30, 2024 and accrue interest at the rate of 5.30% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on
June 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing December 31, 2017. At the holder's option, the debentures may be converted into
common shares of Atrium at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the business day immediately preceding the
maturity date and the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of the debentures. The conversion price is
$14.94 for each common share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The debentures are direct, unsecured obligations of Atrium, subordinated to other senior indebtedness of Atrium, ranking
pari-passu to Atrium's existing 5.25% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due June 30, 2020, 6.25% convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures due March 31, 2019, and 5.50% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due September 30, 2021.
The debentures are not redeemable before June 30, 2020. On and after June 30, 2020 and prior to June 30, 2022, the debentures
may be redeemed, in whole or in part, from time to time at Atrium's option at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that
the weighted average trading price of the common shares of Atrium on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the 20 consecutive trading
days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which notice of the redemption is given is not less than 125% of the
conversion price. On and after June 30, 2022, Atrium may, at its option, redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, from time to
time at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Subject to specified conditions, Atrium has the right to repay the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, on maturity
or redemption, through the issuance of its common shares. Atrium also has the option to satisfy its obligation to pay interest
through the issuance and sale of its common shares.
