Step Energy Services Ltd. Completes $65 Million Secondary Offering of Common Shares

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- STEP Energy Services Ltd. (the “Company” or “STEP”) (TSX:STEP) announced today the successful closing of its secondary offering (the “Offering”) of common shares of the Company by the limited partnerships comprising ARC Energy Fund 6 and ARC Energy Fund 8 (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders), at a price of $12.25 per share (the “Offering Price”). The Selling Shareholders sold 5,307,000 common shares under the Offering for total gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholders of $65,010,750. STEP did not receive any proceeds from the Offering.

The Offering was made through a syndicate of underwriters on a bought deal basis led by CIBC Capital Markets Inc. as sole bookrunner and Peters & Co. Limited as co-lead underwriter (the “Underwriters”).

The Underwriters were granted an over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase an aggregate of up to an additional 796,050 common shares of the Company from the Selling Shareholders at the Offering Price. The Over-Allotment Option can be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days from the date hereof and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Company will not receive any proceeds in connection with any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

Currently, STEP is a fully integrated, deep capacity coiled tubing and fracturing solutions provider focused primarily in the Montney and Duvernay in Canada, and a coiled tubing services provider in the United States with operations in the Permian and Eagle Ford in Texas and the Haynesville in Louisiana.
