Lakeview Hotel Investment Corp Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

WINNIPEG, MB, Nov. 26, 2021 /CNW/ - Lakeview Hotel Investment Corp ("LHIC") is pleased to report its financial results for the Quarter ended June 30, 2021. The following comments in regard to the financial results should be read in conjunction with the June 30, 2021 financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis which are available on the SEDAR website www.sedar.com.

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to have an adverse effect on the Company's operating business due to a decline in both leisure and business travel and economic activity.  The second quarter hotel revenues and operating results improved compared to the same period in 2020.  However, we expect that the lower than normal results will continue for several more quarters until the population is vaccinated and leisure and business travel become more normalized.

As disclosed in a previous press release, Lakeview Hotel Investment Corp. ["LHIC"] entered into an arrangement agreement dated November 9, 2021 whereby a Purchaser has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Lakeview, has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding Series C Debentures and all of the Series D Debentures of Lakeview with all accrued and unpaid interest owing to the Debenture holders forgiven, settled and extinguished for no consideration; and has agreed to pay to LHIC or to the benefit of LHIC approximately $15,000,000 for LHIC to pay and satisfy all amounts owing by LHIC to its lending syndicate led by ATB Financial, and to pay certain costs associated with the transaction.

The closure of the deal is dependent on the shareholders and debenture holders approval and approval by the courts.
