RE: Internal Asset Transfer Program St. Marys Plant

Dear Plant Manager,

As you are aware the St. Marys Plant closed on February 10, 2023. TCL Asset Group Inc. (TCL) is working with Maple Leaf Foods (MLF) for the equipment decommissioning of this plant.

The first phase is the Internal Asset Transfer Program (IATP).  During this phase, you are invited to view and request a transfer of assets from the St. Marys Plant to your facility. All Assets are available for viewing online on the TCL website. Complete descriptions of the Assets as well as photos will be available for viewing during the IATP Period. Please review the following Guidelines carefully, the process is similar to the last IATP.

The virtual inspection period is open from February 20 to March 3.

Once you have viewed all the lots and have made a decision to request a transfer you will click on View Cart.  You must complete the Reason for Request field for each lot that you have added to your cart. MLF head office will use this information in their decision making process.

You can either continue shopping for Lots by clicking Browse Auctions or you can Checkout.

Please note that all transfer requests will be reviewed and authorized by MLF head office staff.

You can review previously submitted request forms by clicking on View Requests. Once you have submitted a Request Form you can log in any time to Request new items. This will generate a new form with the additional lots. If you have changed your mind about a lot please email Josie at jalulio@managingyourassets.com and she will modify your request.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION- Please note the following:

1. Ensure to submit a business plan justification with each request for equipment to aid in the decision-making process by Management.
2. If the transfer of request is approved, the NBV of the asset(s), as determined by Maple Leaf Foods, will be transferred to the receiving plant of assigned equipment (“Receiver”).
3. The removal cost (i.e., mechanical, electrical, and palletize) is borne by Receiver.  A P.O. # must be issued, by the Receiver, to TCL prior to commencement of any work.
4. Receiver is also responsible for the freight cost (i.e., FOB St. Marys)
5. TCL will assist to coordinate and supervise all equipment removal activities through a MLF-selected General Contractor.  The General Contractor, on behalf of Maple Leaf Foods,  has control over the construction site and as well as any Health & Safety related matters.  No other contractor(s) or MLF-employee(s) is allowed on-site to remove equipment, without the knowledge and agreement of General Contractor.
6. The removal period will take place approximately from March 13 to March 24, unless otherwise determined by TCL/MLF.
7. All removal cost must reflect the requirements to leave St. Marys in a mechanical- and electrical-safe manners, as well as with H&S consideration.  That is, at minimum, the St. Marys facility CANNOT be left with open utility service pipes/lines, loose/hanging electrical wires, duct/exhaust/roof openings, or bolts/pipes/conduits left in place that would present a safety hazard, & etc.
8. Note that any transferred equipment will not have QC confirmation of cleanliness.  As a result, it is the responsibility of the Receiver to clean and certify per necessary Food Safety protocols prior to commission its use.

It is important that the viewing dates and removal dates be adhered to. Once the IATP phase is complete any remaining equipment will be sold at auction. The auction is currently scheduled for the week of April 17 so that the removal and clean-up of the plant can be completed by the end of June 2023.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
