STATEMENT OF FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVE IN SUPPORT OF CHAPTER 15 PETITION FOR RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN PROCEEDING

I, Stew Gibson, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, hereby declare under penalty of

perjury under the laws of the United States, as follows:

1. I am the Vice President of Catalyst Paper Corporation, the duly appointed

proposed foreign representative (the “Foreign Representative”) of the above-captioned debtors

(collectively, the “Debtors”) in a foreign proceeding (the “CBCA Proceeding”) under

Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-44 (as amended, the

“CBCA”) before the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

2. I respectfully submit this statement, as required under section 1515(c) of

title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in support of the verified petition

filed concurrently herewith by the Foreign Representative seeking recognition by this Court of

the CBCA Proceeding as a foreign main proceeding or, in the alternative, as a foreign main

ACTIVE Case 16-12419 Doc 1 Filed 11/01/16 Page 29 of 30

proceeding with respect to the Canadian Debtors and as a foreign nonmain proceeding with

respect to the U.S. Debtors.

3. Pursuant to the requirements of section 1515(c) of the Bankruptcy Code,

to the best of my knowledge, the CBCA Proceeding is the only insolvency proceeding of any

kind pending for the Debtor and, thus, is the only known “foreign proceeding” with respect to the

Debtor as that term is defined in section 101(23) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor is one of

the affiliated entities subject to the CBCA Proceeding, and the relevant court file number is No.
