Exhibit 99.1

 

Cash Store Financial Obtains Stay Extension and Additional DIP Financing

EDMONTON, Sept. 30, 2014 /CNW/ - The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. ("Cash Store Financial" or the "Company") announces that it has obtained an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("the Court") granting a stay extension under its current Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") proceedings to November 28, 2014.

The Court also authorized the Company and its subsidiaries to enter into a further amendment to its amended and restated debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing agreement ("Further Amended DIP Agreement") pursuant to which an additional loan in the aggregate amount of $5 million will be available to the Company. In addition, the Further Amended DIP Agreement permits the Company to use $1.3 million of tax refunds to fund operations, rather than to make an immediate repayment to the DIP lenders. The amounts made available under the Further Amended DIP Facility are required in order to continue going concern operations and attempt to complete a sale of the Company's business pursuant to the Court-approved Sale Process, under which prospective purchasers have had the opportunity to submit a bid for the Company's property.

Discussions and negotiations with potential bidders are ongoing under the Sales Process. The Further Amended DIP Agreement will provide the necessary liquidity throughout the stay extension to continue to negotiate a sale transaction to achieve a value maximizing going concern outcome.

The Court also today approved the Ninth Report of the Monitor, FTI Consulting Canada Inc., dated August 6, 2014. A copy of this report, as well as other orders of the Court, including details on the sales process, as well as other details regarding the Company's CCAA proceedings is available on the Monitor's website at http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/cashstorefinancial.

Cash Store Financial remains open for business and will continue to provide updates on its restructuring and the Cash Store Sale Process as matters advance.
