Item 1.03                                           Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

As previously disclosed, on September 25, 2013, Lone Pine Resources Inc. (“Lone Pine”) and its subsidiaries, including Lone Pine Resources Canada Ltd. (“LPR Canada”), commenced proceedings (collectively the “Creditor Protection Proceedings”) in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta (the “Canadian Court”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) and ancillary proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Court”) under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 15”).

 

On January 9, 2014, the Canadian Court issued an order (the “Sanction Order”) sanctioning and approving Lone Pine’s previously announced First Amended and Restated Plan of Compromise and Arrangement (the “Plan”) under the CCAA. On January 10, 2014, the U.S. Court issued an order (the “U.S. Recognition Order”) recognizing and enforcing the Sanction Order in the United States under Chapter 15.

 

The following is a summary of the material features of the Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan filed as Exhibit 2.1. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

(a)                                         Debt Exchange.  The exchange of all Notes and other Affected Unsecured Claims in consideration for new common equity in the Restructured Group in the form of voting common shares of LPR Canada, together with concurrently issued voting common shares of Lone Pine and, if applicable, any Backstopper’s Pro-Rata Share of the Backstop Amount, except for Affected Unsecured Claims of Cash Pool Creditors;

(c)                                          Backstop Commitment.  The issuance of all such LPRC Preferred Shares and concurrently issued LPRI Multiple Voting Common Shares, pursuant to the Backstop Commitment, so as to ensure that the Restructured Group realizes the full New Investment Amount;

 

(d)                                         Repayment of Credit Facility.  The repayment in full of all existing secured bank debt with proceeds from the New Investment and borrowings under the New Credit Facility;

 

(e)                                          Cancellation of Existing Parent Shares, Equity Interests and Equity Claims.  The cancellation of all Existing Parent Shares, Equity Interests and Equity Claims for no consideration.  As of the date hereof, Lone Pine had 86,860,176 Existing Parent Shares outstanding;

 

(f)                                           Cash Pool Creditors.  The payment in cash of Affected Unsecured Claims of Cash Pool Creditors that are, or that the holder thereof elects to reduce to, $10,000 or less, subject to an aggregate maximum Distributable Amount limit of $700,000 for all such claims and prorating in the event that such Affected Unsecured Claims exceed the maximum Distributable Amount; and

 

(g)                                          Releases.  On the Plan Implementation Date, the Released Parties will be released and forever discharged from any and all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, counterclaims, suits, debts, sums of money, accounts, covenants, damages, judgments, orders (including for injunctive relief or specific performance and compliance orders), expenses, executions, Encumbrances, and other recoveries on account of any liability, obligation, demand or causes of action of whatever nature, including claims for contribution or indemnity, which any Creditor or other Person may be entitled to assert (including pursuant to common law or statutory liabilities of directors, officers, managers or members of any of the Debtors), whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, direct, indirect or derivative, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or later arising, based in whole or in part of any act, omission, transaction, duty, responsibility, indebtedness, liability, obligation, conduct, dealing or other occurrence existing or taking place on or prior to the later of the Plan Implementation Date and the date on which actions are taken to implement the Plan, that are in any way relating to, arising out of or in connection with the Affected Claims, the Note Indenture, the Current Credit Agreement, the Current Credit Facility, the Equity Interests, any Equity Claims, the Support
