Voice Construction

Voice Construction, an Edmonton, Alberta-based civil construction company, was placed in receivership on June 25 on application by Maynbridge Capital, owed approximately $35.9MM. Maynbridge, which took an assignment of the company's loan from a syndicate of lenders in January 2019, has been working with the company on the terms of a transaction that would address the company's immediate liquidity needs and improve its capital structure. Although negotiations continued to progress, by mid-June 2019 the company's liquidity position deteriorated to the point that an injection of capital was required in the immediate term. The company instead took steps to wind down its business operations, terminating staff and advising customers of the wind-down of its business. Fearing that the company's equipment would be exposed to potential possessory liens of trade contractors, Maynbridge sought the appointment of a receiver to preserve and realize on the assets in an orderly manner. Alvarez & Marsal was appointed receiver. Counsel is BLG for the applicant, Osler for the company and Miller Thomson for the receiver.
