WINNIPEG, March 17, 2023 – Dynamic Technologies Group Inc. (NEX: DTG.H, OTC:ERILF) (“Dynamic”, “Company”, “we” and “our”) announces that, further to the initial order for creditor protection announced in a news release dated March 9, 2023, March 16, 2023 the Company obtained an amended and restated initial order for creditor protection (the “AR Initial Order”) from the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta (the “Court”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”). The AR Initial Order provides for a stay until May 26, 2023 (the “Extended Stay Period”) of creditor claims and proceedings in of the Company and its subsidiaries, Dynamic Attractions Ltd., Dynamic Entertainment Group Ltd., Dynamic Structures Ltd. and Dynamic Attractions Inc. (“Subsidiaries”). The AR Initial Order also approved a sales and investment solicitation process (“SISP”), which is scheduled to commence immediately.
The AR Initial Order authorizes and directs FTI Consulting Canada Inc., as the court-appointed monitor (the “Monitor”) to, among other things, proceed with implementing a SISP in respect of the Company and the Subsidiaries’ business. The SISP is intended to solicit interest in, and opportunities for, a sale of, or investment in, all or part of the Company and the Subsidiaries’ assets and business operations. This may include one or more of a restructuring, recapitalization or other form of reorganization of the business and affairs of all or part of the Company, or a sale of all, substantially all, or a portion of the Company’s assets and business operations as a going concern or otherwise.
In order to participate in the SISP and obtain access to a virtual data room and other information, interested parties must comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the AR Initial Order and other related documents, which are available on the Monitor’s website at: http://cfcanada.fticonsulting.com/dynamicgroup.
Parties interested in participating in the SISP should contact Robert Kleebaum of FTI Consulting Canada Inc. at the following addresses:

Interested parties who wish to submit a bid must deliver a non-binding letter of intent to the Monitor and the Company in accordance with the SISP by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on April 28, 2023 (the “Phase 1 Bid Deadline”). The Monitor and the Company will assess the letters of intent received on or before the Phase 1 Bid Deadline and may select certain bidders to proceed to the second phase of the process (“Phase 2”). The Phase 2 deadline is May 26, 2023. Any transaction that may ultimately be consummated by the Company and or its Subsidiaries will be subject to the approval of the Court in the CCAA proceedings.
At this time there is no certainty as to the outcome of the SISP. Accordingly, it is unclear whether or not there will be any value remaining for holders of Dynamic’s shares at the conclusion of the SISP.
The AR Initial Order also includes, in addition to the Extended Stay Period and approval of the SISP: (i) an increase to the administration charge (the “Administration Charge”) of up to $750,000 over the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fees of the Monitor and its legal counsel and the legal counsel to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) an increase to the interim financing charge (“Interim Lender’s Charge”) for funding during the CCAA proceedings up to the amount of $2,600,000.
MLT Aikins LLP is acting as legal counsel to the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the CCAA proceedings.
