Further, actual results or events could differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements as a result of the risks and uncertainties relating to the CCAA proceedings (the "CCAA Proceedings") including: any negative impacts on the Corporation's business, results of operations, financial position, cash management arrangements and limitations on the Corporation's ability to freely deploy its cash resources throughout the Corporation; relationships with employees, customers, creditors, suppliers and other stakeholders resulting from the CCAA Proceedings; the failure of the Corporation to obtain an initial court order substantially on the terms applied for or to obtain subsequent court orders extending the applicable stays of action and proceedings against the Corporation to permit it to propose a restructuring plan to affected creditors; the sufficient alternative debtor-in-possession financing during the CCAA Proceedings; the failure of the Corporation to obtain the requisite approvals of affected creditors or the court for any restructuring plan, or to successfully implement such a plan or obtain sufficient exit financing, if required, within the time granted by the court, which could result in substantially all of its debt obligations becoming immediately due and payable or subject to immediate acceleration, leading to the likely liquidation of the Corporation's assets; that the Corporation's existing common shares could have no material value in, and following the approval of, a restructuring plan and could be cancelled; and the potential that the Toronto Stock Exchange may suspend trading or delist the Corporation's common shares on or from such stock exchange as a result of the CCAA Proceedings.
