"This transaction completes the critical first step of our commitment to refinance USPL's existing capital structure," John W. Poling, US Plastic chief financial officer, says in a prepared statement.

Under terms of the deal, Halifax agreed to certain standstill provisions related to a $7.5 million debenture US Plastic Lumber issued earlier this year.
