Ltd. (TSX: ANS) (&#8220;Ainsworth&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) today announced that it is soliciting consents from holders of its outstanding 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;) to approve amendments (the &#8220;Proposed Amendments&#8221;) to the indenture relating to the Notes (the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Proposed Amendments would modify certain definitions contained in the Indenture so that the proposed acquisition by Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (&#8220;LP&#8221;) of all of the outstanding Ainsworth shares (the &#8220;Acquisition&#8221;) pursuant to the arrangement agreement entered into by LP and Ainsworth on September 4, 2013, and the designation by LP of members of Ainsworth&#8217;s board of directors upon and after the consummation of the Acquisition will not constitute a &#8220;Change of Control&#8221; under the Indenture and Ainsworth will not be required to make a &#8220;Change of Control Offer&#8221; under the Indenture in connection with the Acquisition.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Ainsworth is making the consent solicitation at LP&#8217;s request and expense.  Whether or not the requisite consents are obtained, promptly following the consummation of the Acquisition, LP will unconditionally guarantee the prompt payment and performance of the obligations of Ainsworth under the Indenture and the Notes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">LP will make a cash payment of $2.50 per $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each holder of Notes as of the Record Date (as defined below) who has validly delivered its consent at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below) and who has not validly revoked its consent before the Effective Time (as defined below), with 50% of such consent payment (the &#8220;Initial Consent Payment&#8221;) to be paid promptly following the Expiration Time, subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including receipt of valid consents in respect of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes (such consent, the &#8220;Requisite Consents&#8221;).  The remaining 50% (the &#8220;Final Consent Payment&#8221;) will be paid promptly following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the completion of the Acquisition. Subject to obtaining required shareholder, court and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions, and based on the information currently available, Ainsworth expects the Acquisition to be consummated by the end of 2013.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Ainsworth anticipates that, promptly after receipt of the Requisite Consents prior to the Expiration Time, Ainsworth and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee will execute and deliver a supplemental indenture with respect to the Indenture (the &#8220;Supplemental Indenture&#8221;). The Proposed Amendments will become operative upon the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture (the &#8220;Effective Time&#8221;) and shall thereafter bind every holder of Notes. However, if the Final Consent Payment is not paid on or prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is five Business Days after the date upon which all of the conditions to the Final Consent Payment are satisfied or waived and (ii) June 2, 2014, the Supplemental Indenture provides that the definitions in the Indenture amended in connection with the consent solicitation shall revert to the form in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with such reversion being retroactive as if the Proposed Amendments had never become operative.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2013 (such date and time, as the same may be extended by Ainsworth from time to time, the &#8220;Expiration Time&#8221;). Only holders of record of the Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 4, 2013 (the &#8220;Record Date&#8221;), are eligible to deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments in the consent solicitation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The consent solicitation is being made solely on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated October 7, 2013 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the &#8220;Consent Solicitation Statement&#8221;), and the accompanying consent letter.
