SASKATOON, June 1, 2015 /CNW/ - PrimeWest Mortgage Investment Corporation ("PrimeWest") announced today its intention to complete a common share offering of up to $5,000,000, being up to 500,000 Class A Shares ("Shares")  at a price of $10.00/share (the "Offering"). The initial close is scheduled for July 15, 2015 subject to customary closing conditions, with the directors authorized to set additional closings if required.

The proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used (i) to redeem Shares that shareholders have requested to be redeemed during the 2015 Redemption Period, which redemption, in accordance with the Articles of PrimeWest, will be limited to 10% of the currently issued Shares of PrimeWest or such higher number as may be considered appropriate in the discretion of the Board, (ii) for normal lending purposes in the general course of the corporation's business and (iii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.  To the extent that the proceeds from the Offering are used to redeem Shares held by current shareholders, this will result in the investors under the Offering replacing the share capital of those shareholders whose Shares are being redeemed.
