Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2019) -  Trican Well Service Ltd. (TSX: TCW) ("Trican" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2018-2019 normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") that was announced on October 1, 2018. Pursuant to the 2018-2019 NCIB, Trican purchased and cancelled the maximum allowable number of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company under the NCIB, totaling 30,923,345 Common Shares for total consideration of $45.4 million at a weighted average price per share of $1.47 (before broker commissions).

Additionally, the Company announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted its application to renew this program and make a NCIB to purchase, from October 3, 2019 to October 2, 2020 (or such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of Trican), certain of its Common Shares. All purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX or Canadian alternative trading systems at the prevailing market price at the time of such transaction.

As at September 18, 2019, there were 284,375,381 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The number of Common Shares which may be purchased during the period of the NCIB will not exceed 24,753,435 Common Shares, which is approximately 10% of the public float for the Common Shares. The Company's public float as at September 18, 2019 was 247,534,353 Common Shares. Except as permitted under the TSX rules, the Company will not purchase on any given trading day under the NCIB more than 220,020 Common Shares, being 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares on the TSX for the six calendar months ended August 31, 2019 of 880,081 Common Shares. All Common Shares purchased through the NCIB will be returned to treasury for cancellation.

As the Company outlined in its Q2-2019 MD&A and discussed during its Q2-2019 quarterly earnings call, the NCIB has been put in place because Trican believes that the Common Shares are the superior investment for the Company in the context of equity market conditions. Management continually evaluates all alternatives to maximize this investment. Trican has consistently stated its commitment to a financially prudent capital structure and that the NCIB would be managed in accordance with this objective. Management will evaluate and adjust the Company's investment level into the NCIB as the Company's financial position, market activity and financial results dictate.

Trican has engaged BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. as its broker for the purpose of effecting purchases under the Bid and has entered into an automatic purchase plan for the NCIB. All purchases under the Bid will be at the discretion of Trican, subject to the rules of the TSX.
