Ssense has been under CCAA protection since September 12, 2025, and the proceedings remain active. A court-supervised sale and investment solicitation process ran with a phase one deadline of October 13, 2025 and a bid deadline of November 21, 2025, and produced a purchase agreement with 9549-0348 Québec Inc., the unredacted copy of which was filed under seal as Exhibit R-3A. Under that agreement, closing is to occur no later than five business days after the closing conditions are satisfied and in any event by an outside date of February 13, 2026, absent written agreement of the parties with the Monitor's consent. The Monitor has reported to the court seven times, most recently on May 7, 2026.
Order granted as the stay expired that day, continuing protection while the Debtors provided ERP-related transition services, collected receivables and prepared for eventual termination of the CCAA proceedings.

Case update
SSENSE: the final stay, and $5.5 million more for the banks
In May the court said the extension to September 11 "should be the final stay of proceedings." On September 11 Justice Morin extended it again, to November 13, and authorized a second distribution of $5,500,000 to the lending syndicate that had asked for a liquidation instead of the founders' purchase. With $38,807,000 paid against more than $134 million of principal, the orders record that nothing will reach any other creditor. What is holding up the end is an ERP migration and a seized account in Belgium.
Precedent note
What stay extensions are actually granted
Seven CCAA files, three provinces, and no two extensions alike — four days because the court could not sit, twenty days more than the debtor asked for, a full year when all that is left of the company is a lawsuit. The boundary is the case's own calendar.
