CALGARY, AB, Nov. 14, 2022 /CNW/ - (TSXV: CWC) CWC Energy Services Corp. ("CWC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it filed with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") a Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as CWC considers advisable, a maximum of 25,620,671 common shares (the "Common Shares"). CWC has entered into an "automatic securities purchase plan" (as defined under applicable securities laws) with Raymond James Ltd. ("Raymond James") for the purpose of making purchases under the Bid (the "ASPP"). Such purchases will be determined by Raymond James in its sole discretion, without consultation with CWC having regard to the price limitation and aggregate purchase limitation and other terms of the ASPP and the rules of the TSXV.  Conducting the Bid as an ASPP allows Common Shares to be purchased at times when CWC would otherwise be prohibited from doing so pursuant to securities laws and its internal trading policies.

The maximum number of Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Bid represents approximately 5% of the outstanding Common Shares on the date hereof. Purchases of Common Shares will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV. The price that CWC will pay for any Common Shares purchased by it will be the prevailing market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV at the time of such purchase. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased for cancellation and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Raymond James in accordance with the ASPP.

Subject to the approval of the TSXV, it is anticipated that the Bid will commence on or about November 16, 2022 and will terminate on November 15, 2023 or such earlier date as the Bid is completed or terminated in accordance with the ASPP.

Management of CWC believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Common Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Common Shares and that at such times the purchase of Common Shares would be in the best interests of CWC. Such purchases will increase the proportionate interest of, and may be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. In addition, the purchases by CWC may increase liquidity to shareholders wishing to sell their Common Shares.
