LWP CAPITAL INC. ANNOUNCES FINAL DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS AND THE CONCLUSION OF ITS LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS
TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2024 /CNW/ - LWP Capital Inc. (formerly Legumex Walker Inc.) ("LWP" or the "Company"), by KSV Advisory Inc., in its capacity as the Court-appointed liquidator (in such capacity, the "Liquidator"), today announced that pursuant to an Order dated December 4, 2024 (the "Termination, Discharge and Final Distribution Order") by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court"), it has received approval for, among other things, the final accounts of the Liquidator, a final distribution to shareholders and dissolution of LWP.
Final Accounts
Pursuant to the Termination, Discharge and Final Distribution Order, the Court approved the final accounts in respect of the liquidation of the Company, including a final statement of receipts and disbursements, which provides an accounting of all activity in the Liquidator's accounts since the effective date of the Company's Liquidation Plan (the "Plan"), being December 31, 2015.
Final Distribution to Shareholders
The shareholders of the Company as of December 9, 2024 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive a final distribution (the "Final Distribution") pursuant to the Plan of approximately CAD$0.02 per share held at the close of business on the Record Date. The Plan was approved by the Court pursuant to an Order dated January 11, 2016 (the "Liquidation Order").
Only Record Date holders will be entitled to receive the Final Distribution, and the aggregate amount of the Final Distribution is expected to total approximately CAD$300,000. On or around December 9, 2024, the Liquidator will transfer the aggregate value of the Final Distribution, on behalf and for the account of the Company, to the Company's transfer agent. The Liquidator anticipates that the Final Distribution will be paid by the transfer agent on or around December 18, 2024. The Company currently has 16,294,635 issued and outstanding common shares.
The Final Distribution represents all the remaining cash of LWP. The Final Distribution brings total shareholder distributions paid by the Liquidator over the course of the liquidation proceedings to approximately CAD$18.5 million (CAD$1.14 per share).
The inspectors appointed under the Plan have elected to characterize the Final Distribution as a reduction of stated capital.
Dissolution of LWP
On December 4, 2024, the Court also approved the dissolution of LWP. The Liquidator currently expects that articles of dissolution will be filed with the Director appointed under the Canada Business Corporations Act in the coming weeks and that a certificate of dissolution will be issued on the filing date. It is also anticipated that LWP will cease to be a reporting issuer at such time.
