Trican and Canyon to Combine to Create Premier Canadian Pressure Pumping Company Trican and Canyon to Combine to Create Premier Canadian Pressure Pumping Company Wednesday, March 22, 2017 Calgary, AB – Trican Well Service Ltd. (“Trican”)(TSX:TCW) and Canyon Services Group Inc. (“Canyon”)(TSX:FRC) are pleased to announce that they have entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which Trican has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Canyon (the “Canyon Shares”) on the basis of 1.70 common shares of Trican (the “Trican Shares”) for each outstanding Canyon Share (the “Transaction”). The consideration to be received by Canyon shareholders reflects a value of $6.63 per Canyon Share based on the closing price of Trican Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) on March 21, 2017, which represents a 32% premium over the closing price of Canyon Shares on the TSX on March 21, 2017. The aggregate Transaction value is approximately $637 million, including the assumption of approximately $40 million in Canyon debt. Upon completion of the Transaction, existing holders of Trican Shares and Canyon Shares will collectively own approximately 56% and 44% of the combined company, respectively. “This combination with Canyon will create a Western Canadian based leading energy services firm that has the asset base, efficient cost structure and financial capacity to create value for all of our combined stakeholders” said Dale Dusterhoft, Trican’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have always held Canyon in very high regard and look forward to welcoming the Canyon employees to the Trican family. Our companies have a shared base of values and an alignment on our commitment to safety, service, technology and operational excellence.” Brad Fedora, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canyon will join Trican’s board of directors (the “Trican Board”) upon closing of the Transaction, and stated, “The Transaction provides our shareholders an opportunity to participate in the exceptional value potential of the combined company.” Fedora continued, “Trican and Canyon have similar businesses and shared values and we are committed to driving a successful integration. We envision a combined company that will set the standard for service quality, field execution and operating efficiencies. We will deliver exceptional service and technology to our existing and prospective clients and will create new career opportunities for our employees.” Dusterhoft concluded, “We expect the Transaction to be significantly accretive to cash flow as the integration is completed in 2018. As we look at our businesses today, both companies’ available horsepower is fully committed and we have increased visibility on strong activity through the third and fourth quarters of 2017. Job sizes and horsepower per job continue to increase and the combined company will have ability to respond to these changes in the market.” Transaction Rationale Premier assets in Canadian pressure pumping and related services o Combined company with 675,000 HHP of available fracturing capacity, a leading footprint of service bases across Western Canada and a complementary suite of products and services across cementing, coiled tubing, nitrogen, industrial services and fluid management. Complementary cultures and strategic vision o Trican and Canyon have very similar cultures and values and a shared vision of the industry opportunity going forward. We are committed to having the best people in the industry providing safe, high quality, efficient service with fit for purpose technology and the best maintained equipment. Platform for continued growth and enhanced ability to service broader and more complex customer requirements o We believe the combined company will have the operating assets, technical leadership and scale to meet increasingly complex client demands and through the expanded base of service lines the company will have increased optionality to target future growth. As supportive economic conditions emerge, the combined company will look to bring a significant volume of currently parked equipment back to work at a low cost. Significant opportunities for cost synergies o The combined company is expected to begin realizing significant synergies immediately. Trican expects to achieve approximately $20 million in annual pre-tax synergies upon the expected completion of the integration in 2018 by creating additional leverage on the combined company’s fixed cost structure, reducing corporate overhead and optimizing operational facilities. Strong balance sheet, access to capital and attractive capital markets positioning o The combined company will have a well-positioned balance sheet and the free cash flow profile to fund growth. With a market capitalization of approximately $1.4 billion at the time of announcement of the Transaction, the combined company will be one of the largest public Canadian oilfield services providers by market capitalization, will be well positioned for index inclusion and will have enhanced public market liquidity. The Trican Board has unanimously approved the Transaction and recommends that holders of Trican Shares vote in favour of the ordinary resolution approving the issuance of Trican Shares pursuant to the Transaction.
