Superior made demands for payment of the termination fee on June 30, 2016 and again on July 5, 2016. Canexus has failed to pay the termination fee making this legal action necessary. Superior has also filed a statement of defence to Canexus' claim for a reverse termination fee of $25 million from Superior. Superior believes that Canexus' claim for the reverse termination fee is without merit and intends to vigorously defend Canexus' claim and pursue payment of the $25 million termination fee owed by Canexus.
