Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2023) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) today provided commentary on its loan to Stateview in response to recent media reports.

On April 12, 2023, Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation ('Atrium') and Dorr Capital Corporation ('Dorr') made formal written demand for repayment of a loan to Stateview in the original principal amount of $23,240,000 (the 'Loan'), following the occurrence of events of default including, but not limited to, non-payment of interest due on April 1, 2023.

Atrium's investment in the Loan represents the most senior ranking $17,800,000, with the balance of the principal amount subordinate to Atrium's interest. The Loan is secured by a parcel of land proposed for development of a townhouse project in Markham, Ontario (the 'Property').

Atrium and Dorr have acted expeditiously and have commenced court proceedings for recovery of the Loan and for the appointment of a receiver to control and market the Property for sale. Atrium does not consider its investment to be impaired and has no other loans outstanding to Stateview or its affiliates.

While Atrium does not normally comment on individual loans, Atrium wanted to clarify this situation given recent media attention surrounding the Stateview companies.
