TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 23, 2016) - LWP Capital Inc. (TSX:LWP) (formerly "Legumex Walker Inc.") ("LWP" or the "Company"), by KSV Advisory Inc., in its capacity as the Court-appointed liquidator of LWP (the "Liquidator"), today announced that it has received an objection notice (the "Objection Notice") from The Scoular Company (the "Purchaser") objecting to the Company's calculation of the Closing Working Capital set out in the Company's Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(3) of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2015, entered into among the Purchaser, the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of LWP, as amended (the "Asset Purchase Agreement").

The Liquidator provides the following update on this matter:

• The calculation prepared by the Purchaser contemplates a downward adjustment to the purchase price of approximately CAD$19 million;
• The Liquidator intends to provide an update once the Closing Working Capital has been definitively determined;
• If the Closing Working Capital is not definitively determined in a manner that is favorable to the Company, the funds available for distribution to shareholders may be materially less than the range of CAD$1.69 to CAD$1.98 per share disclosed in the Company's press release dated November 23, 2015; and
• The Purchaser's Objection Notice may not address all adjustments or claims which the Purchaser may advance under the Asset Purchase Agreement and/or the Court supervised claims process which is presently being administered by the Liquidator. The results of the claims process will be made available by the Liquidator following the claims bar date of March 15, 2016.
