MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Orosur Mining Inc. (“Orosur” or “the Company”) (TSX: OMI) (AIM:OMI) announces that the Court in Uruguay has approved the payment plan agreement between the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Loryser SA (“Loryser”) and Loryser’s creditors (the “Agreement”).

As previously announced, Loryser applied for a reorganization process in June 2018. In December 2018, Loryser proposed the Agreement to which 71.48% of its creditors consented. The public notice period has concluded, without opposition, and the Agreement has now been approved by the Reorganization Court in Montevideo. The Court decree was publicly posted on September 13, 2019. The ratification by the Court means that the Agreement is legally binding on all creditors and that Intervenor’s control over Loryser ceases.

The Agreement provides that the net proceeds from the sale of Loryser’s assets in Uruguay, together with the issuance of 10 million common shares in Orosur, shall fully satisfy all amounts owing by Loryser to its creditors, as well as provide funds for Loryser to conduct this process and manage the orderly closure of its operations. The Agreement requires Loryser to manage and complete the sale and payment process within two years, starting from the date of the ratification by the Court. The issuance of common shares in Orosur is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Ignacio Salazar, CEO of Orosur, said:

“Following the strong support received to our proposed Agreement in Uruguay, we are pleased to have completed now the ratification process with the approval from the Court. The ratification means that the Agreement is legally binding on all creditors and that Intervenor´s control over Loryser ceases. This is a significant milestone in achieving a satisfactory conclusion for all stakeholders in Uruguay.”
