Marret Asset Management Inc. (“Marret”) today announced that Marret High Yield Strategies Fund (“MHY”) (CSE: MHY.UN) and Marret Multi-Strategy Income Fund (“MMF”) (CSE: MMF.UN) will take an 50% write-down in the value of securities held in Cline Mining Corporation (“Cline”).

Cline is the main asset of MHY and MMF. As a result of the write-down, the net asset value per unit of MHY on July 14, 2023 will decrease approximately from $0.2522 to $0.1256 or by $0.1266 per unit, the net asset value per Class A unit of MMF on July 14, 2023 will decrease approximately from $0.1017 to $0.0088 or by $0.0929 per Class A unit, and the net asset value per Class F unit of MMF on July 14, 2023 will decrease approximately from $0.1092 to $0.0095 or by $0.0997 per Class F unit.

New Elk Coal Company, LLC (“NECC”) filed for Chapter 11 protection on February 21, 2023. NECC is the issuer of the secured notes held by Cline (“NECC Notes”). In addition to NECC, its parent company Allegiance Coal Limited (“AHQ”) and three other related entities also filed for insolvency protection. The write-down reflects NECC’s mine transitioning from an ongoing operation to care and maintenance, which is likely to result in the liquidation of the assets of NECC as opposed to the sale of the mine as a going concern.
