TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2015 /CNW/ - 1511419 Ontario Inc., formerly known as The Cash Store Financial Services Inc. (the "Company") and its affiliates announces that it has served materials to seek an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("the Court") granting permission to hold meetings of the Company's secured creditors to consider and vote on a plan of compromise and arrangement ("the Plan") between the Company, its secured creditors and certain other persons who are party to a number of settlement agreements that are reflected in the Plan. These settlement agreements relate to consumer class actions and securities class actions that have been commenced against the Company and certain of its directors and officers and to certain other litigation that has been commenced by the Company against its directors and officers and against other parties.

The Plan relates to (i) the distribution of the proceeds of the previously announced transaction with National Money Mart Company, the previously announced transaction with easyfinancial Services Ltd. and an additional transaction with CSF Asset Management Ltd. (the "Asset Sales"), and (ii) the approval of the settlement agreements among the Company and the other parties thereto and the distribution of the proceeds of those settlement agreements.
