(&#8220;NAEP&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) (TSX/NYSE: NOA) today announced that it is soliciting consents in connection with a proposed amendment to the Indenture under which its outstanding 9.125% Series&#160;1 Senior Unsecured Debentures due 2017 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;) were issued.&#160;&#160;The proposed amendment would allow the Company to make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture) in an aggregate amount of up to $30,000,000, subject to certain limitations. The solicitation will expire, and the deadline for delivering consents will be, at 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on October 9, 2013, unless extended by the Company (such time and date, as they may be extended, the &#8220;Expiration Time&#8221;).</font></font></div>
