Catalyst Paper Corporation's Principal Securityholders and KGI Amend Support Agreement for a Potential Acquisition of Catalyst Paper; KGI Begins Due Diligence Process

Richmond, (BC) – Catalyst Paper Corporation (TSX: CYT) ("Catalyst" or the "Company") today announced that its four largest shareholders holding or controlling approximately 79% of its outstanding common shares, including accounts or funds managed by Mudrick Capital Management, L.P., Cyrus Capital Partners, LP, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Stonehill Capital Management LLC (collectively, the "Principal Securityholders"), have amended the previously announced support agreement with Kejriwal Group International ("KGI") and accordingly filed amended Schedule 13Ds with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Catalyst is not a party to the amended support agreement but has entered into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with KGI, which allows KGI to initiate its due diligence process in connection with the proposed transaction.
 
The amended support agreement provides in particular for the extension of the deadline to sign a definitive agreement (now October 25, 2016) but maintains December 15, 2016 as the deadline to complete a transaction, and for KGI to provide regular and satisfactory updates to the Principal Securityholders confirming the status and progress of the transaction.
 
The Board of Directors will continue to review and evaluate the proposed transaction and the process contemplated by the support agreement with the assistance of legal and financial advisors. Neither the support agreement, nor the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement preclude discussions among the Principal Securityholders, the Company or the Board of Directors or management of the Company regarding modifications, amendments, extensions, replacements, refinancings, or any similar actions with respect to any securities of the Company held by the Principal Securityholders.

There can be no assurance that any definitive agreement to implement the proposed transaction with KGI will be entered into, and on what terms, that any of the material conditions to the proposed transaction will be satisfied, or that this or any other proposed transaction will be approved or consummated.
 
The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to this or any other transaction or the process relating thereto, except as required under applicable law. Interested stakeholders may access the Principal Stakeholders' filings, including the amended support agreement, from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
