WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Arctic Glacier Income Fund (CSE: AG.UN) (the “Fund”) announces that the monitor (the “Monitor”) appointed by the Court in respect of the Fund’s application filed under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, as amended (the “CCAA”) has concluded that it is appropriate to make a further interim distribution to unitholders of the Fund (the “Second Unitholder Interim Distribution”). The Monitor anticipates beginning the formal process to make the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution as expeditiously as possible and in compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations to the extent they are not inconsistent with the Fund’s court-approved CCAA arrangement. It is anticipated this activity to facilitate the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution can be commenced in late October/early November 2019. The Monitor estimates the amount of the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution will be approximately CDN$15 million. Once the Monitor has finalized the amount of the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution, the Monitor will set a record date for establishing unitholders entitled to receive the distribution (the “Unitholder Interim Distribution Record Date”). Provided that the formal process to make the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution is commenced in late October/early November, the Monitor anticipates that the payment date for the Second Unitholder Interim Distribution will be in December 2019.
Once details are finalized, the record date, payment date and distribution amount per unit will be announced by way of a further press release.
More information about the Fund’s CCAA proceedings can be found on the website of its Court-appointed monitor at http://www.alvarezandmarsal.com/arctic-glacier-income-fund-arctic-glacier-inc-and-subsidiaries.
