TSX: SHLE
CALGARY, May 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Source Energy Services Ltd.
(the "Company" or "Source") is pleased to announce that its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Source Energy Services Canada LP and
Source Energy Services Canada Holdings Ltd. have, pursuant to an
underwriting agreement entered into today, agreed to issue and sell
an additional $50 million aggregate
principal amount of 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due
December 15, 2021 (the "Notes") by
way of private placement (the "Private Placement") under the
indenture pursuant to which the same issuers previously issued
Notes on December 8, 2016. This
represents an upsize in the aggregate principal amount of the
additional Notes sold under the Private Placement from the
$40 million that the Company
previously announced. The additional Notes will be issued at
$1,057.50 per $1,000 principal amount which represents an
effective yield of 7.953% to 2020. Interest on the additional Notes
will be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal instalments on
June 15 and December 15 of each year with the first interest
payment commencing on June 15, 2018.
The additional Notes will form a single series with the previously
issued Notes. The single series Notes will carry a S&P rating
of B+ and a DBRS rating of B(high). The Private Placement is
expected to close on or about May 31,
2018, subject to customary closing conditions.
In addition, on May 18, 2018,
Source's existing credit facility was amended to, among other
things, increase availability for borrowings thereunder (subject to
certain conditions) from $70 million
to $88 million, reflecting an
increase in the amount permitted to be borrowed under such credit
facility in compliance with the indenture governing the Notes.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the additional Notes will
be used to initially repay drawn amounts under the Company's
existing credit facilities, which in turn may be redrawn for
general corporate purposes and to fund working capital and capital
expenditures.
Brad Thomson, Chief Executive
Officer of Source, stated, "I'm pleased with the amendments that
we've made to our credit facility and the issuance of additional
senior secured first lien notes. These modifications to our capital
structure provide Source with the financial flexibility to continue
to execute on growth opportunities that the Company sees on the
horizon."
BMO Capital Markets and Scotiabank are acting as joint
book-running managers for the Private Placement which also includes
AltaCorp Capital Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity
Corp. and CIBC World Markets Inc. as co-managers.

solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any
sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such
an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
state or jurisdiction.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities
laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. The Offering is being made exclusively to qualified
institutional buyers in the United
States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to
non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act and pursuant to certain prospectus
exemptions in Canada.
