Arctic Glacier Obtains Waivers From Lenders
(firmenpresse) - WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/29/11 -- Arctic Glacier Income Fund (TSX: AG.UN) ("the Fund") today announced that the Fund and its subsidiaries, including Arctic Glacier Inc. and Arctic Glacier International Inc. (collectively "Arctic Glacier"), have obtained waivers from their lenders.
The lenders have waived compliance with financial covenants for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 until September 1, 2011, including those governing the maximum leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum EBITDA levels.
The waivers also permit the Fund to make the final cash interest payment to holders of its 6.50% extendible convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") and facilitate the previously announced issuance of trust units of the Fund on August 2, 2011 to the Debenture holders in satisfaction of the Fund's obligations to repay the principal amount of the Debentures due July 31, 2011 in lieu of cash. In addition, the waivers permit the Fund to make the first installment payment of US$2.5 million relating to the U.S. Direct Purchaser Class Action settlement on or before August 4, 2011.
Arctic Glacier is continuing active discussions with its lenders to amend certain terms of the credit agreements for future quarters, although there can be no assurance that such amendments will be approved.
The Fund continues to evaluate alternatives as part of the strategic and financing review that is currently in progress.
