Marketwired
MONTREAL, CANADA (NYSE: IQW) (the "Company") announced today
that it was withdrawing its refinancing plan involving an offer of
approximately Cdn$250 million of its equity shares, an offer on a
private placement basis of an aggregate of $500 million of new debt
securities and amendments to the Company's secured credit
facilities. The Company has decided to withdraw the refinancing
plan due to adverse current financial market conditions. The
Company will continue to evaluate financing alternatives, including
the issuance of equity and debt securities when conditions are more
favourable, asset sales and sale leaseback transactions and explore
other alternatives. To that effect, the Board will hire independent
financial advisors.
