Sherritt Provides Update on Financial and Liquidity Position

S · Price

Sherritt International Corporation (S) has reported continued constrained liquidity and a material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, following its second quarter 2026 results. The company suspended direct participation in its Cuban joint venture and ceased metals refining operations at its Fort Saskatchewan facility due to U.S. sanctions imposed via an Executive Order on May 1, 2026.

The Corporation faces a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern. Direct participation in joint venture activities in Cuba was suspended on May 7, 2026, following a U.S. Executive Order expanding sanctions issued on May 1, 2026. Additionally, metals refining operations at the Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta facility ceased on June 22, 2026.

The company continues to operate under constrained liquidity conditions. The issuance of the Executive Order constituted a material and progressive adverse change, entitling the administrative agent (on behalf of lenders) to call an event of default under the revolving-term credit facility maturing April 30, 2027. No demand for repayment of outstanding loan obligations has been made to date. However, acceleration of indebtedness under the Credit Facility would entitle holders of at least 25% of the Corporation’s outstanding amended senior secured notes to declare such notes immediately due and payable.

Sherritt is advancing a comprehensive recapitalization. Active discussions are ongoing with all lenders to secure interim financing and significant new capital required to restart and restore normal operations. The Corporation is also pursuing government support and other strategic capital sources. There is no assurance that financing will be available, capable of being completed on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all.

"Further to its second quarter 2026 results and financial position update filed on August 12, 2026, the Corporation continues to operate under constrained liquidity conditions and faces a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern," the company stated.

"The Corporation continues to advance a comprehensive recapitalization and remains in active discussions with all of its lenders, with the objective of securing interim financing and the significant new capital required to restart and restore normal operations."
