GreenFirst Forest Products announces $24 Million financing for Kap Paper

GreenFirst Forest Products Inc. (TSX: GFP) (“GreenFirst” or the “Company”) announces Kap Paper Inc. (“Kap Paper”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GreenFirst, has entered into a loan agreement with a third party establishing a non-revolving term loan facility of up to $24 million to support its paper mill operations in the town of Kapuskasing. The loan is to be used for general working capital purposes.

“The financing will afford us the opportunity to move forward our long-term strategy for Kap Paper, ensuring its competitiveness,” said Terry Skiffington, Kap Paper’s CEO.

Kap Paper remains focused on mill operations and has made considerable improvement on the operational challenges faced in the last two reported quarters, some of which were caused by external events. Kap Paper looks to build on this momentum to further improve operational efficiencies in what has been a tough pricing environment for paper products.

Kap Paper is the only pulp and paper mill operating in Eastern Ontario. As such, its operations are imperative to help mitigate challenges related to diminishing chip consumption, which is jeopardizing sawmill operations in Ontario.
