Further to its press release of July 16, 2018,
the Company announces it has received both the CDN$3.5 million
Settlement Payment and the CDN$4.0 million DIP Loan. The terms and
conditions of the DIP Loan as well as the rank of the security
granted are disclosed in more detail in the Monitor’s report and on
SEDAR.
Update on the DIP Financings announced
in August 2017 and June 2018
Computershare Trust Company of Canada in its
capacity as trustee for the holders of the 2015 ITC Debentures (the
“Lender”) of the $6.8 million DIP financing announced on August 2,
2017 and of the $650,000 Second DIP financing announced on June 11,
2018, confirmed to the Company that it waived Orbite’s obligation
to repay the borrowed sums under both DIP financings until October
1, 2018. Orbite expects such waiver to be further extended by the
Lender in order to allow for the completion of the repairs to the
calcination equipment before having to repay such borrowed
sums.

developments occur.
There can be no guarantees that Company will
otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will
emerge from CCAA protection.
