LWP Capital Completes Divestiture of Pacific Coast Canola Ownership

WINNIPEG, Jan. 5, 2016 /CNW/ - LWP Capital Inc. (TSX:LWP) (formerly "Legumex Walker Inc.") ("LWP Capital" or the "Company") today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary has completed the divestiture of its 84% ownership interest in Pacific Coast Canola LLC ("PCC") to Glencore Grain Investment LLC and McKinstry Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of Industrial Construction Group, Inc. ("ICG"), for no cash consideration.

Under the terms of the transaction, ICG has provided PCC with a release of its lien on the PCC plant and of its claims against PCC and its affiliates.  AgCountry Farm Credit Services, FLCA ("AgCountry"), the agent for a syndicate of lenders under PCC's senior credit facility (the "Facility") who had previously made demand for repayment of all amounts due under the Facility, agreed to terms of the repayment of the Facility and the Facility was repaid and terminated.  PCC previously terminated its processing agreement with The Scoular Company.

With both the sale of the assets of the Company's Special Crops Division and the divestiture of the Company's indirect 84% interest in PCC completed, LWP Capital no longer carries on an active business.  As a result, the Company's Common Shares were delisted from the TSX on December 31, 2015 and, on that date, the Company commenced its voluntary liquidation and dissolution pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Liquidation Plan"), as further described in its press release dated November 23, 2015.  KSV Advisory Inc. ("KSV") is the Liquidator under the Liquidation Plan. 

Further information regarding the Liquidation Plan is contained in the Management Information Circular dated October 12, 2015, as amended, which is available on www.sedar.com and on KSV's website at www.ksvadvisory.com.
