Hunter Boot (Canada) Inc. became bankrupt on June 30, 2023 under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in Ontario, estate no. 31-2961172, with MNP Ltd. as trustee. The Company's Statement of Affairs put realizable assets at $4,309,783, comprising inventory of $3,599,602, accounts receivable of $126,181 and $584,000 on deposit with financial institutions. Proofs of claim filed as at 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on July 13, 2023 totalled $5,016,597.36: secured claims of $3,134,658.99, preferred claims nil, and unsecured claims of $1,881,938.79. The secured debt is owed to Wells Fargo Capital Finance (UK) Limited under a general security agreement dated October 19, 2017 over all of the Company's property, which a WeirFoulds LLP opinion confirms is valid and enforceable against the Company and effective against the trustee; Wells Fargo has agreed to subordinate its interest to the administrative costs of the bankruptcy. The trustee has not determined the admissibility of claims for distribution purposes.
