LEDUC, AB, April 18, 2019 /CNW/ - Hyduke Energy Services Inc. ("Hyduke" or the "Company") (HYD – TSX) wishes to report on the following matters:
Update on Sale of Head Office Building and Land
Further to its press release of December 10, 2018, the Board and management of Hyduke wish to report that effective April 16, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its head office building (including the manufacturing facility) located in Nisku, AB. Hyduke's head office has been relocated to #100, 3903 - 75 Avenue, Leduc, Alberta, T9E 0K3.
The net proceeds of the sale will be used to pay all of the Company's secured creditors.
B.W. Rig Supply Inc. Extension to Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal Under the BIA
As previously reported, on February 8, 2019, B.W. Rig Supply Inc. ("B.W. Rig"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyduke, filed with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal ("Notice of Intention") pursuant to the provisions of Part III of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA") and Deloitte Restructuring Inc. was appointed as trustee in the proposal proceedings to assist B.W. Rig in its restructuring efforts. The filing of the Notice of Intention had the effect of imposing an automatic 30-day stay of proceedings that protects B.W. Rig and its assets from the claims of creditors while B.W. Rig pursues its restructuring efforts. This 30-day period may be extended with the authorization of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.
On April 17, 2019, B.W. Rig filed with the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and was granted an extension to the stay of proceedings until June 7, 2019. This will allow B.W. Rig additional time to complete its restructuring proposal to address the interests of its creditors and allow it to carry on its operations.
Hyduke will provide further updates as to B.W. Rig's next steps in the process when these have been determined.
