Unique Broadband Systems, Inc.
TORONTO, Feb. 7, 2012 /CNW/ - Unique Broadband Systems, Inc. ("UBS" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: UBS) announces that it has today served a motion (the "Motion") in the proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") seeking a determination as to whether the partial take over bid by 2064818 Ontario Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Alex Dolgonos, for 10,000,000 common shares representing only 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Dolgonos Bid") is stayed by the initial order made in the CCAA proceedings on July 5, 2011 and, if it is not, seeking an order to stay the Dolgonos Bid.
The proceedings under the CCAA were commenced for the purpose of developing and pursuing a plan of reorganization for the Company that is in the best interests of all of the Company's creditors and shareholders, including instituting an expedited process to determine the validity and quantum of, among other things, the approximately $8 million of claims by affiliates of Dolgonos (the "Claims") that are disputed by UBS. The board of directors of UBS believes that the best interests of all stakeholders will be served through the uninterrupted determination of all disputed claims (including the Dolgonos Claims) on their merits in the CCAA proceedings in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. In this respect, the Motion also seeks an order staying the holding of a meeting of UBS shareholders to replace the board until such time as the Claims have been determined under the CCAA proceedings.
The board of directors of UBS urges its shareholders not to respond to the Dolgonos Bid pending the determination of the Motion and further communications to shareholders.
