Toronto Stock Exchange: TMC

TORONTO, Nov. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Company") is pleased to announce that its board of directors (the "Board") has approved a 6% increase to the Company's dividend. The monthly dividend will increase to $0.067 per Class A share from $0.063 per class A share, with the new dividend representing a 9.0% yield on an annualized basis based on the closing trading price for the shares on November 19, 2013. The monthly dividend will increase to $0.071 per class B share from $0.067 per Class B Share. The dividend will be paid on December 13, 2013 to holders of Class A Shares or Class B Shares of record on November 29, 2013.

"With over five years of operations as a public reporting issuer, the stability of the Company's portfolio and related cash-flow and our performance reaffirms our conviction that market fundamentals around shorter-term, customized lending are sound and sustainable, particularly when those loans are secured by income-producing properties," stated Andrew Jones, Managing Director, Timbercreek Asset Management, the manager of the Company.  "The increase in income available for distribution to shareholders is a result of this stabilization."

As of November 19, 2013 there were 32,829,013 Class A Shares outstanding and 3,378,406 Class B Shares outstanding. On November 30, 2013, all Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be exchanged for new Common Shares at a conversion ratio of 1 to 1 for each Class A Share and for the Class B Shares, at a ratio equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the NRV per share by the NRV per share of the Class A Shares on October 31, 2013.

The Company has also amended and restated its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), which will continue to be eligible to holders of Common Shares, which provides a convenient means to purchase additional Common Shares by reinvesting cash dividends at a potential discount and without having to pay commissions, service charges or brokerage fees.  Current participants in the Company's existing Dividend Reinvestment Plan with respect to Class A Shares will be deemed to be participants in the amended and restated Plan with no further action required on their part.

Pursuant to the Plan, and at the discretion of the Manager, Common Shares for the reinvestment of distributions will be acquired in the open market at prevailing prices or issued from treasury at 95 percent of the average market price (the "Average Market Price") for the five trading day period ending on the third business day immediately prior to the dividend payment date (the "Trading Period").

Common Shares acquired under the Plan will be automatically enrolled in the Plan. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, financial institution or other nominee must enroll for distribution reinvestment through their nominee holder.
