Cash Store Financial Seeks Court Approval to Comply with Document Production Demand While Preserving Company Resources

EDMONTON, Oct. 14, 2014 /CNW/ - The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. ("Cash Store Financial" or the "Company") announced it is seeking court approval of a proposal aimed at preserving Company resources while meeting its obligations to comply with a document production demand by the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") related to an investigation by the ASC.

The ASC ordered the Company to produce a large number of documents to facilitate an investigation. While the Chief Restructuring Officer of the Company has been working diligently to review the requested documents and provide all those that are not legally privileged, the cost of a review in this case is significant.  Working with the Company, the ASC has proposed a solution that will (i) permit the Company to comply with the ASC's production order; (ii) ensure that review of the documents is conducted in a cost-effective manner; and (iii) protect legally privileged documents from being produced. The Company served motion materials today for court approval of this proposed solution. 

The ASC recently confirmed that its investigation, which was previously confidential pursuant to section 45 of the Alberta Securities Act, may be divulged in order to seek court approval of this proposal.

Details regarding the Company's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act proceedings, are available on the Monitor's website at http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/cashstorefinancial.
