LWP Capital Inc. Announces a Third Interim Distribution to Shareholders as Part of its Liquidation Proceedings

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - LWP Capital Inc. (formerly "Legumex Walker Inc.") ("LWP" or the "Company"), by KSV Advisory Inc. in its capacity as the Court-appointed liquidator of LWP (the "Liquidator"), today announced that shareholders as of November 12, 2018 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive an interim distribution (the "Third Interim Distribution") made pursuant to a Liquidation Plan dated December 31, 2015 (the "Plan") of CAD$0.10 per share held at the close of business on the Record Date.  The Plan was approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court") pursuant to an Order dated January 11, 2016 (the "Liquidation Order").  Pursuant to an Order dated April 25, 2017 (the "Interim Distribution Order"), the Court previously authorized an interim distribution to shareholders of CAD$0.40 per share, which was made by the Company's transfer agent on or around May 13, 2017.  The Interim Distribution Order authorized further interim distributions to be made to the Company's shareholders from time to time, including a second interim distribution to shareholders of CAD$0.62 per share made by the Company's transfer agent on or around November 16, 2017 and the Third Interim Distribution.  The inspectors appointed under the Plan have elected to characterize the Third Interim Distribution as a reduction of stated capital.

Only Record Date holders will be entitled to receive the Third Interim Distribution, and the aggregate amount of the Third Interim Distribution is expected to total approximately CAD$1.6 million, leaving a balance of approximately CAD$700,000 in the Liquidator's trust account.  These funds, net of costs, are expected to be distributed in the coming months as a final distribution following resolution of certain outstanding claims and sundry issues.  On November 19, 2018, the Liquidator will transfer the aggregate value of the Third Interim Distribution, on behalf and for the account of the Company, to the Company's transfer agent. The Liquidator anticipates that the Third Interim Distribution will be paid by the transfer agent on or around November 21, 2018.  The Company currently has 16,294,635 issued and outstanding common shares.

The Liquidator is in a position to pay the Third Interim Distribution as it received a letter from the State of Washington's Department of Revenue confirming that certain excise tax matters have been resolved.  

The Plan, the Liquidation Order, the Interim Distribution Order and other materials filed in the Company's liquidation proceedings can be found on the Liquidator's website at: http://www.ksvadvisory.com/insolvency-cases/lwp-capital-inc-formerly-legumex-walker-inc/ (the "Liquidator's Website").  The Liquidator will continue to make available on the Liquidator's Website additional information and updates on the status of LWP's liquidation proceedings. The Liquidator's reports to the Court, also available on the Liquidator's Website, provide additional information regarding the Company's liquidation proceedings.
