AI Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX:AI) ("Atrium") announced today that
it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities regulatory
authorities in all provinces of Canada, except Quebec, in connection with an
overnight-marketed public offering of convertible unsecured subordinated
debentures of Atrium.


The offering is being made through a syndicate of underwriters bookrun by TD
Securities Inc., co-led by CIBC and RBC Capital Markets, and including BMO
Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., Scotiabank, Dundee Securities
Ltd., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., Macquarie
Capital Markets Canada Ltd., Raymond James Ltd., Mackie Research Capital
Corporation and M Partners Inc.


The offering will be priced in the context of the market with final terms of the
offering to be determined at the time of pricing. Atrium will use the net
proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes and 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 offering of debentures is expected to close on or about June 18, 2013 and is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.


The debentures will mature on June 30, 2020 and interest will be payable
semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing
December 31, 2013. 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 will be determined at the time of pricing, and
will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.


The debentures will be direct, unsecured obligations of Atrium, subordinated to
other indebtedness of Atrium for borrowed money and ranking equally with all
other unsecured subordinated indebtedness.


The debentures will not be redeemable before June 30, 2016. On and after June
30, 2016 and prior to June 30, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 will have the right to repay the
outstanding principal amount of the debentures, on maturity or redemption,
through the issuance of its common shares. Atrium will also have the option to
satisfy its obligation to pay interest through the issuance and sale of its
common shares.


No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved of the
contents of this news release. The securities being offered have not been, and
will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the
United States unless an exemption from registration is available. This news
release is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Atrium in any
jurisdiction. 


Atrium also announced today that it has successfully amended its revolving
operating credit facility, which has a maximum availability of $50 million, to
allow for an increase in maximum availability to $75 million by way of a bulge
facility during the period commencing on June 3, 2013 and ending six weeks
thereafter (which may be extended at Atrium's option for a further six week
period if certain conditions are met at the time of extension). The revolving
operating credit facility, as amended, matures on August 31, 2013, except for
amounts borrowed under the bulge facility, which mature six weeks after June 3,
2013 (or, if extended as earlier set out, at the end of the extension period).
