Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2014) - Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX: AI) has renewed its revolving operating credit facility for a two year term, and increased it to $100 million, from $80 million previously. The lead arranger for the credit facility is The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The syndicate of lenders consists of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and National Bank of Canada.

"We are very pleased that our lenders have recognized the strength of our mortgage portfolio by offering us a two-year term for this committed facility. The increased facility is as a result of the growth in our business, primarily due to our expansion into western Canada. We believe that this geographic diversification strengthens our mortgage portfolio," noted Robert Goodall, President and CEO. He continued, "Atrium now has five offices across central and western Canada, so that we have a strong presence in our residential and commercial mortgage markets."
