/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MONTREAL, June 7, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Homburg Invest Inc. ("Homburg Invest" or the "Company") announced today that the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) (the "Court") has issued a sanction order (the "Sanction Order") approving the third joint amended and restated plan of compromise and reorganization relating to Homburg Invest and Homburg Shareco Inc. (the "HII/Shareco Plan") and the restated plan of compromise of Homburg Realty Fund (61) Limited Partnership ("Homco 61") (the "Homco 61 Plan" and, together with the HII/Shareco Plan, the "Plans") pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA").

Homburg Invest expects to implement the Plans following the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Plans, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Samson Bélair/Deloitte & Touche Inc., in its capacity as the Court-appointed monitor (the "Monitor"), reported that following the meetings of creditors held on May 30, 2013, the Plans were approved as follows:

(a)	99.8% in number representing 90.1% in value of the affected creditors of Homburg Invest voting in person or by proxy voted in favour of the resolution approving the HII/Shareco Plan;
(b)	100% in number  and  value of the affected creditors of Homco 61 voting in person or by proxy voted in favour of the resolution approving the Homco 61 Plan; and
(c)	49.1% in number representing 44.3% in value of the affected creditors of Homburg Invest voting in person or by proxy, and 48% in number representing 44.5% in value of the affected creditors of Homco 61 voting in person or by proxy elected to receive a cash payment from The Catalyst Capital Group Inc., on behalf of Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II and Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership III, instead of shares of a new corporate entity that they would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Plans.

Jan Schöningh, President and CEO of Homburg Invest, commented: "After 21 months of hard work by the Company, the Monitor and their respective advisors, it is gratifying that such significant  number of creditors voted in favour of the Plans. We would like to thank our creditors once again for their patience and their support. We will now focus on implementing the Plans as efficiently as possible."
