MAUDORE RECEIVES NOTICE FROM THEIR SENIOR SECURED CREDITOR REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR SECURITY AND THE PROGRESS TOWARD A CONSENSUAL RESTRUCTURING
After close of markets on Wednesday,
Oct. 2, Maudore Minerals Ltd. received a letter from Cyrus Capital Partners
in its capacity as a manager to FBC Holdings SARL, regarding defaults
in the credit agreement covering FBC's $22-million secured term loan to
Maudore and the state of negotiations with two major unsecured
creditors at each of Maudore and its operating subsidiary Aurbec Mines
Inc.
As previously reported on Aug. 25, Promec Mining filed a notice of
bankruptcy proceeding against Aurbec. As also previously reported,
the company believes the notice of bankruptcy proceeding is an invalid
filing, and the company has been vigorously working to have it
dismissed. At the same time, the company has been negotiating a
consensual restructuring with its senior lender, its four major
unsecured creditors and other stakeholders to implement a business plan.
On Sept. 30, in order to preserve cash, Maudore chose to defer the
payment of the Sept. 30 interest due to FBC while negotiations
continue. After the close of business yesterday, Cyrus put Maudore on
notice that, while it is still prepared to proceed with a consensual
restructuring which would see the major unsecured creditors join it in supporting Maudore's business plan, it would move to enforce its security if agreements to implement a standstill and consensual
restructuring are not signed by its four major unsecured creditors by
9 a.m. EDT on Oct. 7.
In its letter Cyrus stated that it "remain[s] supportive of the board
and management of Maudore and Aurbec's efforts to maximize cash flow and
reopen the Sleeping Giant mine."
Cyrus's commitment for financial support, which is contingent on Maudore's four major creditors signing standstill agreements, includes new
financing to provide liquidity, deferral of future interest payments and
other components which Maudore believes would provide the company with
12 months to successfully execute its business plan and generate the
cash flows to repay its unsecured creditors.
As previously stated, the company will do everything it can to ensure
that all stakeholders are treated fairly in accordance with their legal
entitlements, that no creditor receives preferential treatment and
affected creditors receive full payment to the extent possible.
We seek Safe Harbor.
