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.
