UNITED STATES

QUEBEC CITY, Aug. 9, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Atrium Innovations Inc. ("Atrium") (TSX: ATB) today confirmed the closing of its previously announced bought deal public offering of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures, due August 31, 2018 (the "Debentures") at a price of $1,000 per Debenture (the "Public Offering"). Each Debenture will be convertible at the holder's option into common shares ("Shares") of Atrium at a conversion price of $24.60 per Share (or 40.6504 Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures) subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. Atrium has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days following closing, pursuant to which the underwriters may purchase up to an additional $11,250,000 principal amount of Debentures, on the same terms.

Atrium also announced today that its previously announced private placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement") of $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures with the Fonds de Solidarité FTQ ("FTQ") was closed on the same terms as the Public Offering, except that Debentures sold under the Concurrent Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period.

All of the net proceeds from the Public Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement will be used to reduce Atrium's outstanding indebtedness, including to fully reimburse the subordinated debt held by FTQ for a principal amount of $13,407,000.

"We opted for financing with a convertible debenture which provides us with increased financial flexibility to support our growth, the opportunity to further optimize our capital structure with a longer maturity and secure a larger portion of interest bearing debt at a fixed rate," said Pierre Fitzgibbon, President and CEO.

The Public Offering was underwritten by a syndicate co-led by TD Securities Inc., National Bank Financial Inc. and RBC Capital Markets and included BMO Capital Markets Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., GMP Securities LP, HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp.

This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The Debentures and Shares being offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and accordingly will not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly within the United States, absent an exemption from registration.
