Trez Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation Provides Year End Update

TORONTO, April 3, 2023 /CNW/ - Trez Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Company") today released its fourth quarter financial and business update for the year ended December 31, 2022.

On June 16, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved the Orderly Wind-Up and, effective at the close of markets on July 31, 2019, the Company delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange. 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 has permitted the Company to reduce financial and regulatory reporting requirements. The Company is updating investors by posting a quarterly press release and annual financial statements to its website at https://www.trezcapitalmic.com.

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

On November 23, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a special distribution of $698,983 ($0.06 per Class A share) (the "Special Distribution"). The Special Distribution, which constituted a return of capital pursuant to the winding-up of the Company's business as approved by Shareholders on June 16, 2016 (the "Orderly Wind-Up"), was paid on November 30, 2022 to holders of Class A shares of record at the close of business on November 23, 2022.

The Company is currently in the final wind-down period of the Orderly Wind-Up. All litigation matters have been settled and the Company's remaining activity involves solely the maintenance of the Company pending release and discharge of all liabilities, contingent or actual. Final wind-up and dissolution plans have been formulated and the Special Distribution represents the step in the final Orderly Wind-Up of the Company.

The Company has approximately $680,000 in cash as a reserve against ongoing operating and other expenses related to the Orderly Wind-Up, including for a final distribution of remaining funds to the holders of its Class A shares (the "Final Distribution") and dissolution. Completion of the Final Distribution and dissolution is expected to occur in 2023, however, remains subject to the Company obtaining clearance from certain regulatory authorities.
