CALGARY,
AB, June 4, 2024 /CNW/ - Tidewater Midstream
and Infrastructure Ltd. ("Tidewater" or the "Company") (TSX: TWM)
announced today that it has completed its previously-announced
public offering (the "Offering") of $100
million principal amount of convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") (including $13 million principal amount of additional
Debentures issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the
over-allotment option) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture, with an interest rate of
8.00% per annum, payable semi-annually on the last day of June and
December, commencing on December 31,
2024. The Debentures will mature on June 30, 2029.
The Debentures are convertible at the holder's option into
common shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") at a
conversion price of $0.78 (the
"Conversion Price"). The Debentures are not redeemable before
June 30, 2027. On or after
June 30, 2027, the Debentures may be
redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the
Company at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but
excluding the date of redemption, provided that the volume weighted
average trading price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the "TSX") for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading
days preceding the date on which notice of redemption is given is
not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. The Company shall
provide not more than 60, nor less than 30 days' prior notice of
redemption.
The Debentures were sold to a syndicate of underwriters
(the "Underwriters") led by National Bank Financial
Inc. on a "bought deal" basis. Tidewater granted the Underwriters
the option to purchase up to $13
million principal amount of additional Debentures, at a
price of $1,000 per Debenture, to
cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization
purposes. The over-allotment option was exercised in full.
Tidewater also announced today that it will redeem $75 million principal amount of its 5.50%
convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due September 30, 2024 (the "2019 Debentures"). The
redemption is expected to occur on July 9,
2024. The 2019 Debentures are redeemable prior to the
maturity date at par plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but
excluding the redemption date. The remaining net proceeds from the
Offering will be used for general corporate purposes. Pending any
such use, the net proceeds of the Offering may temporarily be used
to reduce indebtedness under the Company's credit agreement or held
in short term investments.
The securities offered have not
been registered under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
The press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in
