The Monitor in a CCAA proceeding sought court approval for a complex transaction involving a reverse vesting order (RVO) structure for the sale of electricity generation facilities of the Validus Entities to Macquarie and Far North Power Corp. The motion also requested the addition of a new entity (Residualco) as a debtor, approval of the Monitor's reports and fees, and an extension of the stay period.
The court granted all requested relief, finding the transaction commercially reasonable and in the best interests of stakeholders, particularly due to the highly regulated nature of the business which made an RVO necessary to preserve numerous permits and licenses.
The court also confirmed the appropriateness of the releases granted to various parties involved in the restructuring.
