The applicants, a wireless telecommunications group operating under the Mobilicity brand, sought protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act due to significant debt obligations and an imminent liquidity crisis.
The court considered approval of an Initial Order including debtor‑in‑possession financing, administration charges, continuation of a chief restructuring officer, and a stay of proceedings affecting related oppression litigation.
Applying the statutory factors in s. 11.2 of the CCAA, the court held that the proposed DIP financing and related charges were reasonable and necessary to maintain stability and preserve the possibility of a going‑concern restructuring or sale.
The court rejected objections from a major secured creditor and concluded that the financing structure would not materially prejudice creditors because it ranked subordinate to existing first‑lien security.
The Initial Order was therefore granted.
