On September 27, 2019, by Order (the “Receivership Order”) of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court”), B. Riley Farber Inc. (“B. Riley Farber”) was appointed as receiver (the “Receiver”), pursuant to section 101 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43, as amended, without security, of all of the assets, undertakings and properties of B & W Heat Treating Canada ULC (the “Debtor“), effective September 30, 2019.

Status Updates

On September 27, 2019, the Court issued an Order (the “Approval and Vesting Order”) approving, among other things, a transaction for the purchase and sale between Hilco Industrial Canada, ULC and B.
