SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 23, 2016 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2016 (“Amendment No. 1”), by Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on July 19, 2016 (“Amendment No. 2”), by Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2016 (“Amendment No. 3”) and by Amendment No. 4 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on December 15, 2016 (“Amendment No. 4,” and together with this Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and the Original Schedule 13D, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common shares, no par value per share (the “Shares”), of Catalyst Paper Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 2nd Floor, 3600 Lysander Lane, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada V7B 1C3. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 5 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 5 amends Items 3, 4, 5 and 6 as set forth below.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

On January 27, 2017, (a) the Reporting Persons acquired 295,043 newly-issued Shares of the Issuer in partial exchange for the Issuer’s 11.00% PIK Toggle Senior Secured Notes due October 2017 (the “Notes”) held by the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates, and (b) the 1,449,468 Shares of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons immediately prior to the Recapitalization and Privatization Transaction were repurchased for cancellation by the Issuer for cash consideration equal to $0.50 per Share, in each case as more fully described in the Reporting Persons’ response to Item 4.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On December 14, 2016, the Issuer proposed a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) and privatization (the “Privatization Transaction”) of the Issuer pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which the following principal actions (collectively, the “Recapitalization Elements”) were to occur: (a) the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes up to November 1, 2016 would be exchanged such that the holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) would receive their pro rata share of: (i) US$135 million in principal amount of interests in a new secured term loan maturing five years from the effective date of the Recapitalization (the “Effective Date”) and carrying interest at a rate of 12% per annum, with such interest to be paid in-kind during the first year of the loan, with the possibility thereafter of partial payment-in-kind at the option of the Issuer or with the consent of the lenders (the “New Secured Term Loan”); and (ii) newly-issued Shares of the Issuer representing approximately 95% of the outstanding Shares after giving effect to the Recapitalization; (b) all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes on and after November 1, 2016 up to the Effective Date would be added to the principal amount of the New Secured Term Loan and each Noteholder would receive an additional principal amount of the New Secured Term Loan equal to its pro rata share of such accrued and unpaid interest; (c) all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Recapitalization, other than Shares held by certain funds and entities managed or controlled by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Mudrick Capital Management, L.P., as investment manager to certain of its clients, and Cyrus Capital Partners, L.P., as investment manager to certain of its managed funds, would be repurchased for cancellation by the Issuer for cash consideration equal to $0.50 per Share; and (d) the stated capital of the Shares would be reduced to $100,000, and an amount equal to the reduction of the stated capital would be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Issuer. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement was subject to certain closing conditions, including obtaining the approval of the Arrangement by the Noteholders and the holders of the Issuer’s Shares (the “Shareholders”) as well as obtaining certain regulatory, court and stock exchange consents.

Having satisfied the requisite conditions to the closing of the Recapitalization and the Privatization Transaction (including obtaining the approval by the Noteholders and the Shareholders as well as issuance by the Supreme Court of British Columbia of a final order approving the Recapitalization and the Privatization Transaction), on January 27, 2017, the Issuer consummated the Recapitalization and the Privatization Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement and the Recapitalization Elements were given effect.

In connection with the Recapitalization and the Privatization Transaction, the Issuer’s Shares were delisted from, and ceased to trade on, the Toronto Stock Exchange. On January 30, 2017, the Issuer filed with the SEC a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 of the registration of the Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, for the purpose of, among other things, immediately suspending, and thereafter terminating, the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Other than as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons have any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. However, as part of their ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters or enter into contractual arrangements with respect to the same with the Issuer or with other Shareholders, and, from time to time, the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management of the Issuer, other Shareholders or other third parties regarding the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing the paragraphs contained in Item 5(a) and (b) with the following:

(a) and (b)

The information contained on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

The Reporting Persons hold 295,043 Shares, constituting 0.1% of the Shares issued and outstanding (based on 286,139,235 total Shares issued and outstanding as of January 27, 2017, as reported directly by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons), and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Shares.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The Reporting Persons’ response to Item 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
