CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – June 7, 2017) – Ceiba Energy Services Inc. (“Ceiba”) (TSX VENTURE:CEB) announces that Ceiba and SECURE Energy Services Inc. (“SECURE”) have entered into an amended and restated arrangement agreement (the “Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement”) to amend certain terms of the previously announced arrangement agreement, pursuant to which SECURE has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Ceiba (the “Ceiba Shares”), which will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”).
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement, holders of the unsecured, convertible debentures of Ceiba (the “Debentures”) will receive $1,215 for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. As previously disclosed, SECURE will pay approximately $26 million for all of the issued and outstanding Ceiba Shares. Ceiba shareholders will receive $0.205 for each share, to be paid in cash or by the issuance of 0.02115 of a SECURE common share, at their election, provided that a maximum of approximately 1.3 million SECURE common shares will be issued (representing approximately 50% of the consideration to be paid to Ceiba shareholders).
The Transaction will require approval by at least 66 2/3 percent of holders of the Ceiba Shares and Ceiba warrants, voting together as a single class, at a special meeting to be called to consider the Transaction (the “Special Meeting”). The holders of Debentures will also vote on the Transaction as a separate class at the Special Meeting, and the participation of the holders of Debentures in the Transaction will require the approval of the majority in number of the holders of Debentures, representing at least 66 2/3 percent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Debentures. However, the approval of the holders of Debentures is not a condition to the successful completion of the Transaction.
The Transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2017 and is subject to TSX, TSX Venture Exchange and Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench approval, regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
