CALGARY,
AB, June 19, 2023 /CNW/ - SECURE ENERGY
Services Inc. ("SECURE" or the "Corporation") (TSX: SES), today
announced that, in connection with its previously announced consent
solicitation (the "Solicitation") with respect to proposed
amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indenture (the
"Indenture") governing its 11.000% Senior Second Lien Secured Notes
due 2025 (the "Notes"), SECURE had received, as of 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on June 16, 2023
(the "Expiration Time"), consents from the holders of more than 50%
of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
SECURE and the subsidiary guarantors and the trustees party to the
Indenture expect to enter into a fifth supplemental indenture (the
"Fifth Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture as soon as
practicable, to give effect to the Proposed Amendments relating to
the Indenture.
The purpose of the Proposed Amendments is to fully align the
restricted payment section under the Indenture with the comparable
terms under the indenture governing SECURE's outstanding
$340 million aggregate principal
amount of 7.25% unsecured notes due 2026, which facilitates
SECURE's delivery of its capital allocation priorities, including
the return of capital to shareholders in the form of its quarterly
dividend and opportunistic share repurchases. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement
dated June 8, 2023, SECURE will pay
to the Information and Tabulation Agent, for the benefit of
eligible holders of Notes who validly delivered and did not validly
revoke their consents on or prior to the Expiration Time, a cash
payment equal to US$5.00 per
US$1,000 in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes consented (the "Consent Payment"). SECURE
expects to make the Consent Payment upon or promptly after
executing the Fifth Supplemental Indenture. The Proposed Amendments
will not become operative unless the Consent Payment is made.
Barclays Capital Inc. acted as Sole Solicitation Agent for the
Solicitation and D.F. King & Co., Inc. served as Information
and Tabulation Agent for the Solicitation.
This announcement is for information purposes only and is
neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of a consent or an
offer to buy or sell any security. This announcement is also not a
solicitation of consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments or
any securities. The Solicitation is not being made in any
jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it
is unlawful to make such solicitation under applicable state or
foreign securities or "blue sky" laws.
