Discovery Air Inc. Announces Commencement of Restructuring Proceedings
Discovery Air Inc. Announces Commencement of Restructuring Proceedings Under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act and Pending Sale Process to Preserve Business Affiliates of Clairvest Submit Bids to Purchase Assets
Toronto, ON - March 21, 2018 - Discovery Air Inc. (“Discovery Air” or the “Corporation”) announced today that it was granted protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) pursuant to an order (the “Initial Order”) of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (“Court”). Pursuant to the Initial Order, KSV Kofman Inc. (“KSV”) was appointed as the CCAA monitor (“Monitor”). The principal purpose of the CCAA proceedings is to allow the Corporation to conduct a Court-supervised sale process (“Sale Process”) for its equity interest in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Great Slave Helicopters Ltd. (“GSH”), Air Tindi Ltd. (“ATL”) and Discovery Mining Services Ltd. (“DMS”) (together, the “Subsidiaries”) and its residual interest in its former defence business. The Monitor will be leading the Sale Process, which is intended to enable the businesses to operate on a going-concern basis in the long term.
None of the Subsidiaries have filed for CCAA protection. GSH, ATL and DMS each have the benefit of a stay of proceedings to prevent creditor actions against them as a result of the Corporation’s filing for CCAA protection. All of the Subsidiaries will continue to operate during the CCAA proceedings, and obligations to employees and suppliers of goods and services will continue to be met in the ordinary course.
The CCAA proceedings will allow the Corporation and its subsidiaries to operate in a stabilized environment throughout the duration of the restructuring process. Subject to Court approval, the Sale Process will commence shortly. Clairvest Group Inc. and its affiliates (“Clairvest”) have submitted bids to purchase the Corporation’s above-described equity interests as stalking horse purchasers (the “Transactions”). Unless superior transactions to any of the four Transactions are consummated during the CCAA proceedings, the Transactions will be completed, subject to Court approval.
Clairvest has also agreed to provide funding to the Corporation during these proceedings pursuant to a Court-approved debtor-in-possession financing facility.
A copy of the Initial Order and other Court materials and information related to the Corporation’s CCAA proceedings is available on the Monitor’s website at www.ksvadvisory.com/insolvency-cases/discovery-air.

Re: Is Discovery air finished
Yes the old Discovery Air will be gone and they have already been delisted from the stock exchange. Discovery owed Claivest about $72,000,000 but by the end I believe Clairvest owned the vast majority of the Discovery shares. I would think that the CCAA protection will allow Clairvest to restructure Discovery and have the companies re-emerge as private businesses. Probably a good think as Discovery hadn't made a profit for years. The link in the post above gives lots of details.
I wonder if any of this is impacting the work environment for the employees.

Re: Is Discovery air finished
This is a very complex scam involving several well known financial parasites. Because this is a public forum I'll refrain from posting names and speculate on the fraudulent behaviour of certain people in the BOD and equity firm but I invite people to educate themselves on the topic, it's quite a fascinating read.

[edit] There is a reason why they're isolating Top Aces (formerly known as Discovery Air Defense services) from Discovery Air now that they won the CATS contract. The small investors will never get a dime back from DA.

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

Does this impact Discovery Air Defence Systems (DADS)?
