Court Overrules Objections to CRIIMI MAE's Disclosure Statement andWill Set Date for Confirmation Hearing


ROCKVILLE, Md., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") overruled the objections raised by Citicorp Securities Inc./Solomon Smith Barney ("SSB") to the proposed Second Amended Disclosure Statement (the "Disclosure Statement") filed by CRIIMI MAE Inc. (NYSE: CMM) ("CRIIMI MAE" or the "Company") and two affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors"). The Bankruptcy Court also ordered the Debtors to submit specified modifications to the Disclosure Statement and other proposed solicitation materials by July 19, 2000. The Bankruptcy Court's order states that, upon its determination that the modifications adequately address all issues, the Disclosure Statement will be approved and an order will be entered setting a date and time for the hearing on confirmation of the Debtors' Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan").

Although the Bankruptcy Court overruled SSB's objections, the Court did find that a dispute of material fact remains between the Company and SSB which can only be resolved upon a full evidentiary hearing. The Debtors must prove at confirmation that: (1) the Plan provides the indubitable equivalent of SSB's claim and (2) the Plan's use of the disputed securities does not violate applicable bankruptcy law. The SSB objections were the only remaining objections to the Disclosure Statement pending before the Bankruptcy Court.

The Bankruptcy Court's Memorandum Opinion and Order and Ruling Upon Objection to Debtors' Second Amended Disclosure Statement will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Since filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on October 5, 1998, CRIIMI MAE has suspended its loan origination, loan securitization and CMBS acquisition businesses. The Company continues to own a substantial portfolio of subordinated CMBS and, through its servicing affiliate, acts as a servicer for its own as well as third party securitizations.

More information on CRIIMI MAE is available on its web site -- criimimaeinc.com -- or for investors, call Susan Railey, 301-468-3120 or for news media, call Jim Pastore, 202-546-6451.

Note: Except for historical information, forward-looking statements contained in this release involve a variety of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include the continued uncertainty of the capital markets; the ability of the Company to obtain recapitalization financing, including but not limited to a restructuring of certain of its debt and the sale of selected CMBS to a party or parties for sufficient proceeds; the ability to obtain new equity should it be determined by the Company to proceed with new equity as part of the Company's plan of reorganization; the ability of relevant parties to finalize and execute constituent and operative documents called for by the Company's plan of reorganization; the ability to obtain bankruptcy court approval of a disclosure statement; the possible confirmation of an alternative plan; the trends in the CMBS market; competitive pressures; the effect of future losses on the Company's need for liquidity; the ability of the Company to prove at confirmation the points referenced in the Bankruptcy Court's Memorandum Opinion and Order; confirmation, effectiveness and consummation of the Company's plan of reorganization; the effects of the bankruptcy proceeding on the Company's ongoing business; the actions of CRIIMI MAE's creditors and equity security holders; the possibility that the Company's trader election may be challenged on the grounds that the Company is not in fact a trader in securities or that it is only a trader with respect to certain securities and that the Company will, therefore, not be able to mark-to-market its securities, or that it will be limited in its ability to recognize certain losses, resulting in an increase in shareholder distribution requirements with the possibility that the Company may not be able to make such distributions or maintain REIT status; the likelihood that mark-to-market losses will increase and decrease due to changes in the fair market value of the Company's trading assets; and the outcome of litigation to which the Company is a party, as well as the risks and uncertainties that are set forth in the Company's disclosure statement, and from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and its Current Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
