Everest Toys placed into receivership after bank ends lending relationship: docs
Everest Toys defaulted on $25 million loan to TD Bank, leading to the appointment of Spergel Inc. as receiver after the entire board resigned in August 2025.
- Canadian toy distributor Everest Toys, based in Ancaster, Ontario, was placed into receivership in August 2025 after TD Bank ended its lending relationship.

- The receivership highlights mounting pressures on the Putman retail holdings, and whether Everest can be restructured or sold remains uncertain.
