Colabor Group Inc. Announces Simplification of its Corporate Structure by way of Internal Reorganization

Marketwired
Colabor Group Inc. (TSX: GCL) ("Colabor") is pleased to announce
that it has completed today an internal reorganization of its
corporate structure through which Colabor Income Fund (the "Fund"),
Colabor Operating Trust, 4456076 Canada Inc. and Bertrand Food
Distributors Inc. (each a wholly-owned direct or indirect
subsidiary of Colabor) have been liquidated and wound-up into, or
amalgamated with, Colabor. Pursuant to the reorganization, Colabor
has assumed all obligations and liabilities of such entities and
becomes the sole limited partner of Colabor, Limited Partnership
("Colabor LP").
The reorganization is intended to simplify the corporate
structure of Colabor and improve its operational efficiency by
removing the entities no longer required as a result of its
successful conversion, completed on August 25, 2009, from an income
trust structure to a corporate structure. The reorganization is not
expected to have any material impact on Colabor's suppliers,
clients, employees or other stakeholders. In particular, following
the reorganization, Colabor's business previously operated by
Bertrand Food Distributor Inc. will continue to be operated as a
distinct division of Colabor under the name "Bertrand Food
Distributor Division, a division of Colabor Group Inc.".
Upon the August 25, 2009 conversion to a corporate structure,
the outstanding convertible debentures of the Fund became
convertible into common shares of Colabor on the same terms and
conditions as were applicable to their conversion into trust units
of the Fund prior to the conversion and continued to trade as
securities of the Fund under the symbol "CLB.DB". At such time,
Colabor also assumed the debentures as co-debtor of the Fund. As a
result of the present reorganization, Colabor will become the sole
obligor of the debentures which will thereafter trade as securities
of Colabor. Subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock
Exchange (the "TSX"), the debentures will begin trading on the TSX
on or about November 4, 2009 under the symbol "GCL.DB". Until such
time, the debentures will continue to trade under the symbol
"CLB.DB".
