The four largest shareholders of Catalyst Paper have extended the deadline for Kejriwal Group International to sign a definitive agreement to acquire the B.C. papermaker. An amendment to the previously announced support agreement extends the deadline for a deal to October 25, 2016, but maintains December 15, 2016 as the deadline to complete a transaction.
In addition, Catalyst Paper has entered into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with KGI, which allows KGI to initiate its due diligence process in connection with the proposed transaction.
The principal securityholders hold or control approximately 79% of Catalyst Paper’s outstanding common shares. These include accounts or funds managed by Mudrick Capital Management, L.P., Cyrus Capital Partners, LP, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Stonehill Capital Management LLC.
