Eclipse Residential MIC Announces Results of Annual Redemption

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 16, 2015) - (TSX:ERM) Eclipse Residential Mortgage Investment Corporation ("Eclipse") announces that as of November 13, 2015, the expiry date for submitting Class A Shares to the annual redemption, the number of Class A Shares submitted for redemption exceeds the expected maximum number of Class A Shares that may be redeemed, which is 15% of the average number of Class A Shares outstanding for the 180-day period immediately preceding the December 30, 2015 annual redemption date. As a result, Eclipse will redeem Class A Shares submitted for redemption and not withdrawn or revoked, on a pro-rata basis such that each shareholder will receive approximately 50.3% of their total shares submitted for redemption in cash.

The Class A Share redemption payment will be made on January 15, 2016, and on or about that time, Class A shares submitted but not redeemed (due to the proration described above) will be returned to client accounts. The redemption price per Class A Share will be equal to the net asset value per Class A Share, less any costs associated with the redemption including commissions and other such costs, if any, related to the liquidation of any portion of the portfolio that is required to fund the redemption.

Eclipse's investment objectives are to acquire and maintain a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of interests in single family residential mortgages that seeks to preserve capital and generate sufficient income to permit Eclipse to pay monthly distributions to the holders of the class A shares. The current distribution amount is $0.05417 per class A share per month representing a cash distribution of 7.1% per annum based on the closing market price on November 13, 2015. Since inception, Eclipse has paid cash distributions of $1.38 per share and has generated an annual compound return of 7.3%, which exceeds its benchmark, the DEX Short Term Bond Index, by 4.5% per annum⁽¹⁾. Eclipse offers a distribution reinvestment plan (DRIP) which provides investors with the ability to automatically reinvest distributions and realize the benefit of compound growth.

Eclipse will announce in early January 2016 the details of the pro-rata redemption.
