WINNIPEG, Nov. 23 /CNW/ --
WINNIPEG, Nov. 23 /CNW/ - All in West! Capital Corporation (the
"Corporation") (TSX-V: ALW) announced today that, effective
immediately, it plans to cease all monthly interest payments on its
8.00% Series C Convertible Debentures (the "Series C Debentures") until
such time that the Corporation determines that its financial condition
and cash flows enable the Corporation to resume payments. Given the
financial condition of the Corporation, there can be no assurance that
the Corporation's financial status and cash flows will improve to a
point which will enable it to pay any amounts (principal or interest)
under its Series C Debentures.
"2009 and 2010 have been financially difficult years for the
Corporation. The general economic conditions where the Corporation's
portfolio of hotels is located declined drastically in 2009 and there
has been little improvement in 2010" said Cornelius Martens, CEO of All
in West! Capital Corporation. "Year-to-date the Corporation has been
cash flow negative and as a result, the Corporation is not in a
position to make monthly interest payments on the Series C Debentures".
Earlier in 2010, the Corporation implemented an action plan involving
various stakeholders, including management, the board of directors,
Series A and B debentureholders, and lenders. The action plan involved
the following steps: (i) management and the directors of the
Corporation indefinitely waived all asset management fees and director
fees retroactive to January 2010; (ii) the Corporation ceased its
monthly interest payments on the Series A and Series B debentures of
the Corporation beginning in April 2010; and (iii) an agreement was
reached with certain lenders to allow the Corporation to make
interest-only payments on its mortgages, giving temporary principal
payment relief to the Corporation. Two of these lender agreements have
expired. While the Corporation continues to negotiate with such lenders
for continued approval to make interest-only payments until the
financial condition and cash flows of the Corporation improve, these
mortgages are now in default. Since all of the Corporation's mortgages
are cross-collateralized, the Corporation is in default of all of its
mortgages and its lenders have the right demand the immediate payment
of their respective loan principal and outstanding interest. Although
no lender has made such a demand to date, if the payment of the full
amount of any or all of the mortgages were to be demanded, the
Corporation would not be able to satisfy any such demands. In addition,
the indenture trustee for the Corporation's Series A, B and C
Debentures is entitled to demand payment of all outstanding principal
and interest thereunder, subject to the rights of senior lenders. There
can be no assurance that the Corporation will be in a position to pay
the principal amount or accrued interest on its outstanding debentures.
Even if the Corporation is able to obtain approval of its lenders for
interest-only payments, there can be no assurance that the Corporation
will be in a position to make such interest-only payments at any time
in the future.
Management and the Board of Directors of All in West! Capital
Corporation continue efforts to identify and evaluate alternatives
which may be available to the Corporation with a view to the best
interest of the Corporation.
