WYNIT Distribution, LLC and six affiliates, including Canadian local debtor WD Navarre Canada, ULC, are the subject of active CCAA recognition proceedings in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, commenced September 21, 2017 under court file CV-17-582329-00CL, with KSV Kofman Inc. as Information Officer. The group's US petitions were filed September 8, 2017, when approximately US$76 million was outstanding to the Prepetition Senior Lenders, secured over all of the debtors' assets, including the Canadian assets, under the Ontario PPSA; Chaitons LLP confirmed that security valid and perfected. Interim DIP advances of US$3.5 million, authorised by the Interim DIP Order, were increased to US$8 million by a Second Interim DIP Order dated September 27, 2017, under a DIP facility committed up to $15 million and secured by a super-priority DIP Lender's Charge in both the United States and Canada.
The officer filed report no. Sixth Report. The report notes that over the course of the Chapter 11 proceedings the Debtors liquidated substantially all of their assets (inventory and accounts receivable) and have now ceased business operations, with the case converting from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 and a Chapter 7 trustee appointed to wind up remaining matters.
