CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/24/16 -- Tervita Corporation and certain of its affiliates ("Tervita" or the "Company") announced today that it has concluded an increase to the previously announced New Investment Offering and that it has filed a Second Information Supplement to the Management Information Circular, as supplemented by the First Information Supplement, with respect to the Plan of Arrangement and the Recapitalization (the "Second Information Supplement").
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Information Circular or the First Information Supplement, as applicable.
"We are very pleased with the significant progress we are making towards recapitalizing Tervita," said Chris Synek, President and CEO.

Secured Noteholders holding more than 85% of the Secured Notes have agreed to the Settlement.
The Second Information Supplement includes a description of the following items:
a. amendments made to the Recapitalization Term Sheet and Unsecured
Noteholder Support Agreement in connection with, among other things, the
settlement of the Prepayment Dispute;

Letter as a result of the increase in the New Investment Offering from
$372 million to $410 million; and

things, the Settlement and the increase to the New Investment Offering.
