TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2015 /CNW/ - 1511419 Ontario Inc., formerly known as The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. (the "Company") and its affiliates announces that it has served materials to seek an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("the Court") granting permission to hold meetings of the Company's secured creditors to consider and vote on a plan of compromise and arrangement ("the Plan") between the Company, its secured creditors and certain other persons who are party to a number of settlement agreements that are reflected in the Plan. These settlement agreements relate to consumer class actions and securities class actions that have been commenced against the Company and certain of its directors and officers and to certain other litigation that has been commenced by the Company against its directors and officers and against other parties. Counsel in respect of the applicable class actions have also served materials seeking approval of notice materials relating to the class actions. These motions will be heard by the Court on September 30, 2015.

If permission is obtained from the Court, the meetings will be held on November 10, 2015. Persons entitled to notice of the meetings or of the class action settlements will receive such notice as is provided for in the meetings order or in the class action materials, as applicable.

The Plan relates to (i) the distribution of the proceeds of the previously announced transaction with National Money Mart Company, the previously announced transaction with easyfinancial Services Ltd. and an additional transaction with CSF Asset Management Ltd. (the "Asset Sales"), and (ii) the approval of the settlement agreements among the Company and the other parties thereto and the distribution of the proceeds of those settlement agreements.

Full details regarding the Plan and the settlement agreements, as well as copies of the Plan, the settlement agreements and related documents, are available on the Monitor's website at http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/cashstorefinancial.

If the Plan is approved by the requisite majorities of affected creditors, the Company and its affiliates intend to seek court approvals of the Plan and the settlements at a hearing of the CCAA Court and the call action courts to be held on November 19, 2015, or such later date as the courts may set.
