Connacher Announces Bitumen Royalty Transaction, Full Repayment of Interim Revolving Credit Facility and Extension of CCAA Stay

January 30, 20181:37 PM CNW

CALGARY, Jan. 30, 2018 /CNW/ – Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (“Connacher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta (the “Court”) in its proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) to grant a bitumen royalty to Burgess Energy Holdings, L.L.C. (“Burgess”) on all of the lands (the “Royalty Lands”) containing bitumen together with the oil sands rights and interests owned by Connacher (the “Royalty”) for cash consideration. The Royalty will be calculated on a sliding scale. The net realized bitumen price is to be determined based on gross dilbit sales less diluent, transportation and storage costs. The Royalty transaction closed on January 30, 2018.

Concurrent with the closing of the Royalty transaction, the Company has used a portion of the consideration received to repay in full its US$16,521,164 interim revolving credit facility established pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of May 25, 2016, as amended. The Royalty transaction and interim credit facility repayment enhance the Company’s balance sheet and financial sustainability.

The Company further announced that it has obtained an extension of the CCAA stay of proceedings to June 29, 2018 to pursue and implement appropriate CCAA exit strategies.
