AAER Obtains Extension of Stay Period Under CCAA

  AAER Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AAE) announced today that the Quebec Superior Court issued an order providing AAER with an additional period of protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA"). The initial order, which was first granted under the CCAA in favour of AAER on April 8, 2010, has now been extended until June 2, 2010, during which time creditors and other third parties will continue to be stayed from taking steps against AAER. The purpose of the stay of proceedings is to provide AAER with an opportunity to develop a comprehensive business restructuring plan for consideration by its creditors and the Quebec Superior Court.

AAER has also obtained a procedural order relating to its process for the determination of the claims of creditors and for the upcoming creditors' meeting. According to the order, the claims bar date has been set to May 31, 2010 and the creditors' meeting date has been set to June 1st, 2010.

In the event any additional protection extension under the CCAA is sought, it is AAER's intention to request that the court relieve AAER of any obligation to call and hold an annual meeting of shareholders on or before June 30, 2010 and extend the delay for the calling and holding of such meeting.

The documentation and information on AAER's restructuring process are available on the monitor dedicated website at www.deloitte.com/ca/aaer.

Finally, AAER wishes to inform its shareholders that, further to its press release dated April 23, 2010, AAER's securities are now subject to a cease trade order issued by the securities regulatory authorities on May 4, 2010. The trading in AAER's securities will resume if and when AAER files its annual financial statements and underlying financial documentation in accordance with applicable securities laws.
