MOTION
1.
Co-op Atlantic, Co-op Energy Ltd. and C A Realty Ltd. (collectively, the “Applicants”)
make a motion, pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985,
c. C-36, as amended (the “CCAA”) for: 1
(a)
an Order substantially in the form attached at Tab 2 of the within Motion Record
(the “CST Approval and Vesting Order”), inter alia, approving the sale of the
Applicants’ Energy Business to CST Canada Co. (“CST”, and the sale, the “CST
Transaction”) and vesting in CST Co-op’s right, title and interest in and to
substantially all of the assets and property comprising the Energy Business;
(b)
(the “Property Management Transition / Monitor Approval Order”), inter
alia, (i) authorizing the Applicants to proceed with a transition of their residential
property management agreements, obligations and employees to a new company
to be incorporated by certain existing employees of the Applicants (the “Property
Management Transition”), and (ii) approving the First Report of the Monitor
dated July 16, 2015, the Second Report of the Monitor dated September 11, 2015
and the Third Report of the Monitor, to be filed (the “Monitor’s Third Report”),
and the activities of the Monitor as described in those reports;
(c)
(the “Claims Procedure Order”) establishing a process for the identification and
determination of claims against the Applicants and their present and former
directors and officers; and
(d)
1
such further and other relief as this Court deems just.
Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Affidavit of Bryan Inglis
sworn September 25, 2015, attached at Tab 5 of the within Motion Record.
3
-22.
The grounds for the Motion are:
(a)
on June 25, 2015, the Court granted the Initial Order, inter alia, (i) granting the
Applicants a stay of proceedings under the CCAA until July 24, 2015 (the “Stay
Period”), which Stay Period has been subsequently extended by Orders of this
Court to October 30, 2015, and (ii) appointing KPMG Inc. as CCAA Monitor in
respect of the Applicants (the “Monitor”);
(b)
since the granting of the September Orders, the Applicants have been working
diligently to advance the Sale and Restructuring Process, negotiate prospective
transactions, maintain adequate liquidity, generate funds through the sale of
redundant and surplus assets, manage supplier relationships and maintain the
stability of the remaining Business;
(c)
the Applicants, with the assistance of the Monitor and KPMG CF, have continued
the Sale and Restructuring Process and, after extensive efforts to achieve a sale or
restructuring of the Applicants’ Energy Business, the Applicants have negotiated
and executed the definitive documentation for the CST Transaction;
(d)
the boards of directors of the Applicants have considered and evaluated the CST
Transaction and have determined that the CST Transaction represents the best
alternative available to the Applicants with respect to the Energy Business;
(e)
the Applicants are in advanced negotiations with respect to other potential
transactions in respect of the Agriculture Business and other valuable assets with
a view to bringing the most favourable transactions to the Applicants’ boards of
directors for evaluation relative to other available restructuring alternatives;
(f)
the Applicants have also been considering how to address certain of their noncore activities, including their Property Management Operations;
(g)
after carefully evaluating various alternatives with respect to the Property
Management Operations, the Applicants have determined that a sale of these
operations is not feasible or realistic as these operations have no material
realizable value; accordingly, the Applicants are proposing the Property
4
-3Management Transition as the best and most reasonable solution to preserve the
Property Management Operations for the benefit of the affected clients and
employees;
(h)
it will be necessary in the near future to definitively ascertain creditor claims
against the Applicants and their directors and officers in these CCAA
proceedings; accordingly, the Applicants are seeking the Claims Procedure Order
at this time;
(i)
the Monitor has continued to supervise and provide assistance to the Applicants
with respect to their sale and restructuring efforts and the operation of the
business;
(j)
the conduct and activities of the Monitor are described in the First Report of the
Monitor dated July 16, 2015, the Second Report of the Monitor dated September
11, 2015, and the Third Report of the Monitor, to be filed (collectively, the
“Reports”);
(k)
the conduct and activities of the Monitor as described in the Reports are within
the scope of the Monitor’s mandate and are reasonable and appropriate;
(l)
the circumstances that exist make the CST Approval and Vesting Order, the
Property Management Transition / Monitor Approval Order and the Claims
Procedure Order appropriate;
(m)
the provisions of the CCAA and this Court’s equitable and statutory jurisdiction
thereunder;
(n)
Rules 1.02, 1.02.1, 1.03(2), 3.02, 37, 37.01 and 37.04(1) of the Rules of Court;
and
(o)
such further and other grounds as counsel may advise and this Court may permit.
5
-43.
The following documentary evidence will be used at the hearing of this motion:
(a)
the Affidavit of Bryan Inglis sworn September 25, 2015 and the exhibits attached
thereto;
(b)
the Monitor’s Third Report and the appendices attached thereto; and
(c)
such further and other materials as counsel may advise and this Court may permit.

entitled with respect to such Claim. For greater certainty, a transferee or assignee of a Claim is
not entitled to set-off, apply, merge, consolidate or combine any Claims assigned or transferred

CLAIMS RESOLUTION PROCESS
19.
THIS COURT ORDERS that following delivery of one or more Proofs of Claim to the
Monitor on or before the Claims Bar Date or Restructuring Period Claims Bar Date, as
applicable, the following provisions shall apply to each Proof of Claim, which, for greater
certainty, includes Proofs of Claim in respect of a Director/Officer Claim:
(a)
The Applicants, with the assistance of the Monitor, shall review each Proof of
Claim received by the Claims Bar Date or the Restructuring Period Claims Bar
53
- 11 Date, as applicable, and shall either allow, partially allow or disallow a Proof of
Claim for voting and/or distribution purposes. Where a Proof of Claim is allowed
in its entirety, the Applicants and the Monitor need do nothing further and the
Claim set out in the applicable Proof of Claim is deemed to be admitted unless a
Notice of Revision or Disallowance is delivered to the applicable Person (or its
counsel, if applicable) in respect of such Claim. Where a Proof of Claim is
partially disallowed or disallowed in its entirety, the Monitor shall send a Notice
of Revision or Disallowance to the applicable Person (or its counsel, if
applicable), which Notice of Revision or Disallowance shall state whether such
Proof of Claim has been partially disallowed or disallowed in its entirety for
voting and/or distribution purposes and the reasons therefor. The Applicants may
allow a Claim for voting purposes and may revise or disallow the Claim for
distribution purposes provided they do so in the Notice of Revision or
Disallowance.
(b)
A Person that wishes to dispute a decision of the Applicants made pursuant to
subparagraph (a) above may dispute such decision by delivering a Dispute Notice
to the Monitor within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery to the Person of the
Notice of Revision or Disallowance. Such Person shall specify therein the details
of the dispute with respect to its Claim and shall specify whether it disputes the
determination of the Claim for voting and/or distribution purposes, as applicable.
A Person may accept a determination of a Claim for voting purposes as set out in
the Notice of Revision or Disallowance and may dispute the determination of the
Claim for distribution purposes, provided that it does so in its Dispute Notice and
such Dispute Notice is received by the Monitor in accordance with this
subparagraph (b). A determination of a Claim for voting purposes does not in any
way affect and is without prejudice to the process to determine such Claim for
distribution purposes.
(c)
At the discretion of the Applicants, and with the consent of the Monitor, a dispute
made pursuant to subparagraph (b) above may be heard: (i) by this Court,
returnable on such date as this Court may permit; or (ii) by a claims officer, to be
appointed by further order of this Court upon application of the Applicants, with
54
- 12 the consent of the Monitor. Any dispute heard by this Court shall be heard as a
hearing de novo with such further rights of appeal as may be provided for under
the laws of New Brunswick.
(d)
The ability of the Person holding the Disputed Claim to vote its Disputed Claim at
a Meeting and the effect of casting any such vote will be governed by further
Order of this Court in respect of voting at the Meetings.
(e)
If a Person having received a Notice of Revision or Disallowance does not dispute
same in accordance with and by the deadline set forth in subparagraph (b) above,
the Person’s Claim shall be deemed to be as determined in the Notice of Revision
or Disallowance, and any and all rights to dispute the Claim as determined in the
Notice of Revision or Disallowance or to otherwise assert or pursue such Claim
other than as determined in the Notice of Revision or Disallowance, shall be
forever extinguished and barred without further act or notification, and if such
Claim is thereby disallowed in full, such Person:
(i)
shall not be entitled to attend or vote at a Meeting in respect of such
Claim;
(ii)
shall not be entitled to receive any distribution in respect of such Claim
pursuant to a Plan;
(iii)
shall not be entitled to any further notice in the CCAA Proceedings (unless
it has otherwise sought to be included on the service list); and
(iv)
shall be and is hereby forever barred from making or enforcing such Claim
against the Applicants or any of them, or the Directors or Officers or any
of them, and such Claim shall be and is hereby extinguished without any
further act or notification.
