News Release
April 14, 2014
Cash Store Financial Successfully Obtains Court Order for Creditor Protection
EDMONTON, April 14, 2014/CNW/ -The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. (“Cash Store Financial” or the “Company”) (TSX: CSF) announced today that, further to its news release issued earlier today, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (“Court”) has issued an order granting the Company’s application for creditor protection under theCompanies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). FTI Consulting Canada Inc. will serve as the Court-appointed Monitor in the CCAA proceedings to oversee the operations of the Company and report to the Court during the restructuring.
The Court determined that the approval of the Company’s request for approval of debtor-in-possession financing (“DIP Financing”) will be considered at a hearing scheduled for tomorrow to afford the Court time to consider competing DIP Financing Proposals.
The decision to commence CCAA proceedings was made after extensively exploring alternatives following thorough consultation with its legal and financial advisors. The Company sought protection to address near term liquidity issues, which were caused in part by certain regulatory actions taken in Ontario that impacted on the Company’s primary product offering in that jurisdiction. In light of these and other matters, Cash Store Financial’s board of directors determined that a CCAA proceeding is the most prudent and effective way to carry on business and maximize value for the Company’s stakeholders.
Cash Store is committed to completing the restructuring process quickly and efficiently. The Company remains open for business, its branches continue to operate and daily lending is continuing.
