Bow River Energy Ltd.
On June 1, 2020, an Order (the "CCAA Initial Order") was granted by the Honourable Madam Justice A. D. Grosse of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta (the "Court") pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") granting Bow River Energy Ltd. (the "Company") various relief including, but not limited to, the imposition of an initial Stay of Proceedings against the Company and its assets through to June 11, 2020. The Court appointed BDO Canada Limited as the monitor of the Company (the "Monitor").
On June 10, 2020, the Court granted an Amended and Restated CCAA Initial Order (the “ARIO”) which extended the Stay to July 31, 2020. On July 24, 2020, the Court granted an order further extending the Stay through to October 16, 2020. On October 6, 2020, the Court further extended the Stay until October 30, 2020.
Pursuant to the CCAA Initial Order and the ARIO, the Company is to continue to carry on operations in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable preservation of its business while it considers and pursues restructuring alternatives.
