The Ontario Superior Court of Justice gave Timminco, and its subsidiary Bécancour Silicon, an extension of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act stay of proceedings. The stay proceeds will now be allowed to continue until April 30.


The extra time allotted under the CCAA proceeding will give the company time to accomplish a marketing process for the sale of the business and its assets, or for the sponsorship of a plan of arrangement, subject to court approval of such a process.
