KMW Energy Inc is in an active notice of intention proceeding under s. 50.4 of the BIA, commenced June 18, 2020 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List, In Bankruptcy and Insolvency) under court file 35-2638322, with MNP LTD. as Proposal Trustee. The NOI lists creditors with claims of $7.033MM as at April 6, 2020, an aggregate that includes Nor-Arc Steel Fabricators' secured claim of approximately $2.778MM as of the April 11, 2020 Filing Date, held under a general security agreement dated April 12, 2011. Nor-Arc had served a s. 244(1) notice to enforce security on April 9, 2020, which KMW waived; the debt and security were assigned on April 20, 2020 to 2751602 Ontario Inc., the DIP Lender and a Nor-Arc related party. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company registered a PPSA security interest on April 17, 2020 and holds contingent exposure as issuer of a $6.413M performance bond in favour of Georges River Energy, LLC.
The officer filed report no. Second Report. KMW continues operating in the normal course while a stalking horse sale process drew no other bids, so the Stalking Horse APA became the winning bid. The Proposal Trustee reports sufficient funds to cover post-filing operating expenses and supports court approval of the sale and vesting order.
The officer filed report no. Second Report. KMW continues to operate in the normal course as an NOI debtor, with the proposal trustee monitoring cash flows. The sale process drew no offers by the bid deadline, so the stalking horse bid became the winning bid and court approval of that sale is being sought.
The officer filed report no. Second Report. KMW continued operating under NOI protection while the Proposal Trustee's stalking horse sale process failed to attract any competing qualified bids by the Bid Deadline; the Trustee now recommends court approval of the Stalking Horse APA sale of substantially all assets to the DIP Lender/Stalking Horse Bidder, who intends to retain all current employees, so the Company can exit NOI proceedings and continue as a going concern.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
