Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. (“Tidewater” or the
“Company”) (TSX: TWM) is pleased to announce that it will be
upsizing its previously announced bought deal public offering (the
“Public Offering”) of units (“Units”). Under the Public Offering, a
syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), led by CIBC Capital
Markets, National Bank Financial, RBC Capital Markets and ATB
Capital Markets, have agreed to buy on a bought deal basis
42,080,000 Units of the Company, at a price of $1.20 per Unit for
gross proceeds of $50.5 million. The terms of the previously
announced private placement (the “Private Placement”) remain
unchanged. In total, the Company will issue $85 million of Units at
a price of $1.20 per Unit (the “Issue Price”) under the Public
Offering and Private Placement (collectively the “Offering”).
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share
of the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share from
the Company at a price of $1.44 per Common Share for a period of 24
months following the closing of the Offering.
The Company has granted the Underwriters an
option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable for a period of
30 days following the closing of the Public Offering, to purchase
an additional 15% of the Public Offering to cover over-allotments,
if any. This Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the
Underwriters for additional Units, Common Shares, Warrants or any
combination of such securities (the “Securities”). Should the
Over-Allotment Option be exercised, the subscribers under the
Private Placement will have the option to purchase on a pro-rata
basis additional Securities that are purchased by the Underwriters
pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option.
Proceeds from the Offering and other borrowing
facilities, will be used to repay Tidewater’s existing senior
unsecured notes due December 19, 2022 and second lien term loan due
October 31, 2022.
The Offering is expected to close on or about
August 16, 2022 and closing of each of the Public Offering and
Private Placement will be subject to, among other things, customary
conditions, the concurrent closing of the other and the Company
entering into the expanded senior credit facility. The Offering is
subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
any sale of the securities in the United States or in any other
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful. The securities have not been registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements thereunder.
