All of the Existing Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time will be accepted for purchase by the Company.

About the Tender Offer

The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2018. Payment for the Exiting Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase prior to the Expiration Time and validly tendered and delivered (and not validly revoked) will be made promptly on the May 30, 2018 (the "Settlement Date"). Holders of Existing Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,013.70 per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes tendered.

Planned Redemption of Existing Notes

The Company intends to redeem the remaining Existing Notes not purchased on the Settlement Date on or promptly after June 8, 2018 at the then-applicable redemption price of 101.250% (the "Redemption"). If the Company does not complete the Redemption, it may, from time to time, purchase additional Existing Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or may redeem the Existing Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Existing Notes. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of the Existing Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer. Any future purchases by the Company will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) the Company will choose to pursue in the future.

More particularly and without limitation, this press release contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the settlement of the Existing Notes tendered and accepted by the Company in the Tender Offer and the Company's planned redemption of the Existing Notes not tendered in the Tender Offer and potential alternative methods of purchasing the remaining untendered Existing Notes.

These forward-looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Calfrac in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: the economic and political environment in which Calfrac operates; Calfrac's expectations for its customers' capital budgets and geographical areas of focus; the effect unconventional oil and gas projects have had on supply and demand fundamentals for oil and natural gas; Calfrac's existing contracts and the status of current negotiations with key customers and suppliers; the effectiveness of cost reduction measures instituted by Calfrac; and the likelihood that the current tax and regulatory regime will remain substantially unchanged.

Although Calfrac believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements and information as Calfrac cannot give any assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with: global economic conditions; the level of exploration, development and production for oil and natural gas in Canada, the United States, Russia and Argentina; the demand for fracturing and other stimulation services during drilling and completion of oil and natural gas wells; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas and the effect of this volatility on the demand for oilfield services generally; excess oilfield equipment levels; regional competition; the availability of capital on satisfactory terms; restrictions resulting from compliance with debt covenants and risk of acceleration of indebtedness; direct and indirect exposure to volatile credit markets, including credit rating risk; sourcing, pricing and availability of raw materials, component parts, equipment, suppliers, facilities and skilled personnel; currency exchange rate risk; risks associated with foreign operations; operating restrictions and compliance costs associated with legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing and the protection of workers and the environment; changes in legislation and the regulatory environment; dependence on, and concentration of, major customers; liabilities and risks, including environmental liabilities and risks, inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties in weather and temperature affecting the duration of the service periods and the activities that can be completed; liabilities and risks associated with prior operations; liabilities relating to legal and/or administrative proceedings; failure to maintain Calfrac's safety standards and record; failure to realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions; the ability to integrate technological advances and match advances from competitors; intellectual property risks; third party credit risk; and the effect of accounting pronouncements issued periodically.  The forward-looking statements and information contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and Calfrac does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
