CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 24, 2016) – Tervita Corporation and certain of its affiliates (“Tervita” or the “Company”) announced today that it has concluded an increase to the previously announced New Investment Offering and that it has filed a Second Information Supplement to the Management Information Circular, as supplemented by the First Information Supplement, with respect to the Plan of Arrangement and the Recapitalization (the “Second Information Supplement”).
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Information Circular or the First Information Supplement, as applicable.
“We are very pleased with the significant progress we are making towards recapitalizing Tervita,” said Chris Synek, President and CEO. “The increase to our New Investment Offering demonstrates a commitment from our Plan Sponsors, positioning us with a strong balance sheet and ensuring we have sufficient capital to prosper and grow.”
