CALGARY, AB, Sept. 21, 2021 /CNW/ - SECURE Energy Services Inc. ("SECURE") (TSX: SES), announced today that it has entered into an underwriting agreement to sell, pursuant to a private placement (the "Offering"), $140 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior unsecured notes due December 30, 2026 (the "Notes") at an issue price of $100.75, representing a yield of approximately 7%. The Offering is being underwritten by National Bank Financial Markets.
SECURE intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund, as soon as practicable following closing of the Offering, multiple partial redemptions which in aggregate are expected to result in the redemption of US$100 million principal amount of the outstanding US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 11.000% senior second lien secured notes due 2025 (the "Tervita Notes") previously issued by Tervita Corporation ("Tervita"), in respect of which SECURE became the obligor following its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Tervita on July 2, 2021. Any remaining net proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and for general corporate purposes.
The Notes are being conditionally offered for sale in Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to certain prospectus exemptions. The Notes have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
