ORT.H Orbite Technologies Inc

Orbite Technologies Inc. (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provided an update on on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period

As announced on March 29, 2018, the Superior Court of Québec (the “CCAA Court”) issued an order pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) providing for a stay of all proceedings until June 8, 2018 (the “Stay Period”). On June 8, 2018 the CCAA Court granted a motion filed by the Company and issued a third amended and restated initial order providing namely for the following orders:

• extending the Stay Period until July 20, 2018; and
• approving $650,000 debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing from the holders of Orbite’s 7% Convertible Secured Debentures due September 28, 2018 and a related DIP super-priority charge over the Company’s assets (the “Second DIP Financing”). The Second DIP Financing is in addition to the one announced on August 2, 2017 with the same lender (the “Initial DIP Financing”). The terms and conditions are substantially the same as for the Initial DIP Financing.

The Second DIP Financing will serve for working capital and other general corporate purposes and is expected to close on or about June 13, 2018.

According to the Company’s cashflow projections filed with the CCAA Court, the $650,000 to be received under the Second DIP Financing should allow the Company to maintain its reduced operations until the week of July 22, 2018.

There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

Update on the Outotec Calcination Equipment

As announced on March 29, 2018, Orbite continues working with Outotec, the supplier of the faulty calcination equipment in order to resolve the issues with the equipment.

The causes of the problems encountered and their solutions have been identified by Outotec.  Discussions are ongoing between the parties to come to a satisfactory agreement.

Appeal of the decision on the motion against its insurer for indemnification

As announced on March 6, 2018, the Quebec Court of Appeal (“Court of Appeal”) ruled that the Company had the right to appeal the decision rendered by the CCAA Court which denied the motion filed against its insurer. The appeal was heard on May 11, 2018, by a panel of three judges and the decision is in deliberation.

Management and Head office changes

The head office of the Company is now located in the offices of its technology development center at the following address: 500 boulevard Cartier West, suite 249, Laval, Québec, H7V 5B7.
