Status as of February 27, 2018

On March 6, 2018, the Monitor intends to make a third interim distribution from the Creditors Trust to all creditors with accepted claims for a pro-rata share of funds available from the Fraser Papers Creditors Trust.  

The amount of this third interim distribution equates to a dividend rate of 13.1% of each creditor's accepted claim, which represents a distribution of approximately US $13.75 million (equivalent to approximately Cdn $17.20 million).  The funds being distributed have been principally generated from the early repayment (in full) of the US $13.2 million Twin Rivers Promissory Note (issued to the Trust in 2010 as part of the sale of the specialty paper business to Twin Rivers) along with miscellaneous recoveries received. 

The distribution will be made in Canadian dollars to those creditors who provided Canadian mailing addresses and US dollars for all other creditors.  In order to ensure prompt receipt of this dividend, creditors who have recently moved are advised to notify PwC of their change of address (please contact Ms. Natalia Chtcherbakova of PwC at (416) 941 8383 ext. 14676 for all such notifications - proof of identity and new address will be required to make any change of address (such as a copy of a driver's licence and/or a property tax bill)).

Once this third distribution has been made, total cash distributions to creditors to date will be 14.5% of their accepted claim.   

The timing of any future distributions is currently unknown and is dependent on the realizations from the remaining asset, which are principally some miscellaneous receivables, any remaining refunds of security still held to secure outstanding workers compensation claims and a remaining 0.5% share holding in Twin Rivers Paper Company Inc.

Please contact Ms. Natalia Chtcherbakova of PwC at (416) 941 8383 ext. 14676 if you have any questions in respect of the dividend.  Updates will be made to this website as circumstances dictate.
