NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR

SUPREME COURT

(BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY)

IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPANIES' CREDITORS ARRANGEMENT ACT,

R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, AS AMENDED

AND IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT OF

RAMBLER METALS AND MINING CANADA LIMITED & 1948565 ONTARIO INC.

(collectively, "Rambler" or the "Company")

AMENDMENT TO SISP TIMELINES

TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 33 of the Bidding Procedures in the SISP Order, the Monitor shall have the right at any time, in consultation with the Rambler Group and DIP Lenders, to make amendments to the SISP if, in the Monitor's view, such amendment will enhance the procedure for conducting the SISP. The Monitor hereby provides notice to the service list pursuant to paragraph 33 of the Bidding Procedures that:

  • The Monitor has segregated the original time period for Phase 2, being May 27 to July 21, into two phases.
  • The Phase 2 Bid Deadline will be June 23, 2023 (the "Phase 2 Deadline"). At the Phase
    2 Deadline, all Phase 2 Qualified Bidders must deliver to the Monitor:
    o Evidence demonstrating financial capacity to execute the transaction outlined in the non-binding LOI in a form acceptable to the Monitor, in consultation with the Company and the DIP Lenders; and
    o Additional details related to non-binding LOI's that include a compromise of a specific class of creditors. Specifically, the Monitor needs to understand with which creditors, if any, the Phase 2 Qualified Bidder intends to seek a compromise.
  • The Monitor, in consultation with the Rambler Group and DIP Lenders, will review the information provided by Phase 2 Qualified Bidders at the Phase 2 Deadline, and advise each Phase 2 Qualified Bidder whether they are admitted as Phase 3 Qualified Bidders.
  • Phase 3 Qualified Bidders will have until July 21, 2023 (the original Phase 2 deadline) to provide a binding LOI.

The purpose of the amendments is to enable the Monitor, within an earlier time frame, to identify the current participants in the SISP who may not have the required financial capability to close a transaction within the timelines as set out below. The Monitor is of the view that the amendments will not hinder the continuance of the SISP, but rather will enhance the viability of the SISP and should result in a greater likelihood of maximizing realizations for all stakeholders at the conclusion of the SISP.

Furthermore, due to Court availability, the Approval Motion date as outlined in paragraph 5 of the Bidding Procedures has been rescheduled for September 11th, 2023. A table outlining the revised dates pursuant to the SISP is shown below.

May 30, 2023

No other changes to the SISP are being made at this time.

Sincerely,

GRANT THORNTON LIMITED,

In its capacity as the Court-appointed Monitor

of Rambler Metals and Mining Canada Limited and 1948565 Ontario Inc, and not in its corporate or personal capacity.
