Arctic Glacier in CCAA: Giving Process a Chance
Insolvency Law | Original Program Date: April 9, 2014
The Arctic Glacier insolvency proceedings presented some unique challenges due to the size of the insolvency, multiple offices over a wide geographic location and the cross border issues of the Chapter 15 filing. Hear from the professionals involved in the proceedings about the strategies that lead to the successful restructuring .
The discussion will focus on:
- The filing platform for the Arctic Glacier group including the filing of the U.S. operating subsidiaries under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
- The Sale and Investor Solicitation Process (SISP) leading to the successful completion of the sale transaction
- Using confidential qualifying bids instead of a stalking horse and open auction process
- Secured lender participation in the SISP and the complexities raised in the process as a result of competitive issues in the packaged ice industry
- The unique aspects of the Claims Process for the Arctic Glacier group including the treatment of both Canadian and U.S. class actions as part of the insolvency proceedings.
