IntelGenx Obtains Court-Approval of a Sale and Investment Solicitation Process
29 May 2024 - 12:05AM
As previously announced on May 17, 2024, IntelGenx
Technologies Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
IntelGenx”) (OCTQB: IGXT; TSX: IGX), a leading
drug delivery company focused on the development and manufacturing
of pharmaceutical films, was granted protection pursuant to an
initial order (as amended, the “
Initial Order”)
issued under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act
(“
CCAA”) by the Québec Superior Court (Commercial
Division) (the “
Court”). The Initial Order
appointed Ernst & Young Inc. as monitor (the
“
Monitor”) and authorized interim
debtor-in-possession financing (DIP) financing provided by atai
Life Sciences AG in order to allow the Company to continue its
operations during the restructuring process and implement the
necessary restructuring measures.
On May 27, 2024, IntelGenx obtained an order
from the Court (the “SISP Approval Order”)
approving the implementation of a sale and investment solicitation
process intended to generate interest in either the business or the
assets of IntelGenx, or in a recapitalization of IntelGenx, with
the goal of implementing one or more transaction(s) (the
“SISP”). The SISP Approval Order provides that the
SISP will be conducted by the Monitor.
As part of the SISP Approval Order, the Court
also approved the agreement of purchase and sale between IntelGenx,
as vendor, and atai Life Sciences AG, as purchaser, solely for the
purpose of constituting the “stalking horse” bid under the SISP
(the “Stalking Horse Bid”). The Stalking Horse Bid
establishes a baseline price and deal structure for the
solicitation of superior bids from qualified interested parties and
provides certainty that a going-concern solution for the business
of IntelGenx has already been identified.
All qualified interested parties will be
provided with an opportunity to participate in the SISP. The SISP
is intended to solicit interest in and opportunities for a broad
range of executable transaction alternatives involving the business
and assets of IntelGenx, through one or more sales or partial sales
of all, substantially all, or certain portions of the business and
assets, and/or an investment in, restructuring, recapitalization,
refinancing or other form of reorganization of IntelGenx or its
business.
The SISP will be conducted as a two-phase
process with the Phase 1 Non-Binding LOI Submission Deadline set
for 5:00 p.m. (Montréal Time) on July 15, 2024.
Copies of the order approving the SISP and the
SISP procedures may be obtained from the Monitor’s website:

Further news releases will be provided on an
ongoing basis throughout the CCAA proceedings as required by law or
otherwise as may be determined necessary by the Company or the
Court. Documents relating to the restructuring process such as the
Initial Order, the Monitor’s reports to the Court as well as other
Court orders and documents shall also be published and made
accessible on the Monitor’s website: www.ey.com/ca/intelgenx.
