Trican Well Service Ltd. Amends and Extends Revolving Credit Facility

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2020) - Trican Well Service Ltd. (TSX: TCW) ("Trican" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its revolving credit facility ("RCF").

Trican has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of Canadian banks which amends and extends its RCF (the "Amended RCF"). The principal changes included in the Amended RCF are as follows:

  • A one-year extension of the maturity date from December 5, 2021 to December 5, 2022.

  • A nominal increase in the interest rates and standby fees in the applicable pricing grid that are more than offset by the recent market reductions to the underlying Banker's Acceptance rates.

  • A reduction in the commitment level from $275 million to $125 million, accompanied by an increase in the uncommitted accordion feature from $50 million to $125 million.

There is no change to the financial covenant package or permitted indebtedness terms.

Trican believes that this Amended RCF provides more than ample liquidity for its existing business, as Trican exited Q3 2020 with less than $2 million drawn on the RCF. In addition, the voluntary decrease in the commitment level will reduce the Company's ongoing banking standby fees.

The Amended RCF continues to be led by The Bank of Nova Scotia acting as lead arranger, sole bookrunner and administrative agent and is comprised of five banks - all of which were participants in the previous facility. Trican will pay customary fees and expenses at prevailing market rates to the lending syndicate as a condition of this amendment.
