BC Craft Has Filed Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal Under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act (Canada)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BC Craft Supply Co. Ltd., (CSE: CRFT) ("CRFT" or collectively, the "Company"), today announced that it has filed a Notice of Intention ("NOI") to make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA").

The filing of the NOI has the effect of imposing an automatic 30-day stay of proceedings that will protect the Company and its assets from the claims of creditors while the Company pursues its restructuring efforts. This 30-day period may be renewed with the authorization of the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a period not exceeding six months from the date of filing the NOI.

Crowe MacKay & Company Ltd., a licensed trustee, has consented to act as trustee under the Proposal of the Company. Further information about the proceedings will be available on the trustee's website at https://www.crowemackayco.ca/.

The Company's day-to-day operations will continue uninterrupted throughout the NOI process while the Company undertakes to restructure and put forward a proposal to its creditors. The objective of filing the NOI is to regain the Company's financial footing although there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in securing further financing or achieving its restructuring objectives. Failure by the Company to achieve its financing and restructuring goals will likely result in the Company becoming bankrupt.

The Company will provide further updates as to the next steps of the process when these have been determined.
