Great Pacific Terminates Arrangement Agreement with Canfor

VANCOUVER, Dec. 16, 2019 /CNW/ - Great Pacific Capital Corp. ("Great Pacific") announced that it has agreed with Canfor Corporation ("Canfor" or the "Company") to terminate the agreement between the parties to take the Company private at $16 per share. This is due to the Canfor minority shareholders voting 45% in favour and 55% against the proposal, and thus not meeting the 50% plus threshold of the minority requirement. Great Pacific will not be pursuing this opportunity any further.

Great Pacific's bid, which was made on August 10, 2019, represented an 82% premium over the share price at that time. The price offered was within the range determined to be fair by the Canfor special committee and its advisors. 

Great Pacific looks forward to Canfor's continued success and will continue to support the management and directors of the Company.
