OTTAWA, Nov. 30, 2016 /CNW/ - Magor Corporation (TSX
VENTURE:MCC) ("the Company" or "Magor") announces that on November
30, 2016 it has proactively filed a Notice of Intention to
Make a Proposal ("Notice of Intention") pursuant to the provisions
of Part III of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA").
Pursuant to the Notice, Ernst & Young Inc. has been
appointed as the trustee in the Company's proposal proceedings and
will assist the Company in its restructuring efforts. As a result,
the Company will be transferred to NEX.
This filing follows the Company's strategic review of its
options as previously announced on October
26, 2016 and the subsequent halt of trading in the Company's
shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on November 21, 2016.
The filing of the Notice has the effect of imposing an automatic
30-day stay of proceedings that will protect the Company and its
assets from the claims of creditors while the Company pursues its
restructuring efforts. This 30-day period may be extended with the
authorization of the Ontario Superior Court.
The Company and management team continues to work closely with
Sampford Advisors Inc. to successfully conclude the strategic
review process. The Company is actively seeking further
sources of funding although there can be no guarantee that the
Company will be successful in securing further financing or
achieving its restructuring objectives. In addition to the Notice
of Intention filing the company has also initiated the delisting
process.
The Company currently has four directors on the board which
include Sir Terry Matthews,
John MacDonald, Dan Rusheleau and Jerry
Edgerton. Michael
Mueller, Scott Marshall,
John Watts and Dr. Calvin Stiller have resigned.
The Company will provide further updates as to the next steps of
the process when these have been determined.
