Trez Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation Third Quarter Update

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2019 /CNW/ - Trez Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Company") today released a third quarter financial and business update.

Financial & Business Update

On June 16, 2016 the shareholders of the Company approved the orderly wind-up of the Company ("Orderly Wind-Up").  The Company is currently in the final wind-down period. Its remaining activities involve solely the oversight of ongoing litigation and the maintenance of the corporation pending release and discharge of its liabilities.

As previously announced effective at the close of markets on July 31, 2019 the Company delisted and no longer trades on the TSX. Upon delisting the Company filed an application for an order that it cease to be a reporting issuer. The order, was granted on October 4, 2019 and now permits the Company to reduce financial and regulatory reporting requirements. The Company will be updating investors by posting a quarterly press release and annual audited financial statements on www.trezcapitalmic.com.

Below is a summary of the return of capital per book value since inception of the Orderly Wind Up plan:

The Company is involved in two legal litigations with borrowers, advisors and other parties to try and recover losses from loans where realized proceeds were less than outstanding owed principal amounts and interest. Due to the nature of the proceedings, the Company, at this time, is unable to accurately estimate an amount of any further possible future recoveries or the probability of success of recoveries.

The Company currently has approximately $2.7 million in cash, as a reserve against ongoing expenses and contingent liabilities. Upon release and satisfaction of all liabilities, the Company intends to make a final distribution of all remaining funds to the holders of its Class A shares (the "Final Distribution"). If and to the extent there are proceeds from the ongoing litigation, one or more interim distributions may be made to the holders of Class A shares prior to the Final Distribution. However, there can be no assurance that any such interim distributions will occur. The formal dissolution of the Company will follow the Final Distribution.
