(“Mountainview” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MVW) announces the Credit Facility issued to a wholly owned subsidiary of Mountainview, Mountain Divide, LLC, with outstanding principal in the amount of $49,000,000 has matured and remains unpaid as of July 1, 2015. Mountainview has previously disclosed certain Credit Facility covenant breaches and default events in its year end 2014 and first quarter 2015 financial statements.

Mountainview’s executive team continues ongoing negotiations with all creditors of the Company, including the issuing bank of the above referenced Credit Facility. Negotiations are focused on a comprehensive solution which would provide the Company with the ability to sustain current operations.

Forward-looking statements typically use words such as “will”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “project”, “should”, “plan”, and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes, and include statements that actions, events or conditions “may”, “would”, “could”, or “will” be taken or occur in the future. The forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions including expectations regarding the nature and success of negotiations. While the Company considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a wide range of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcome will not occur, including the Company’s possible inability to negotiate acceptable terms with current and future lenders; general economic conditions; failure to meet credit facility covenants; and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Although Mountainview believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized.
