Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) ("Enerflex" or the
"Company"), a leading supplier of vertically integrated products
and services to the global energy industry, is pleased to announce
today that it has completed its acquisition of Exterran Corporation
("Exterran"), a leader in natural gas processing and treatment and
compression products and services (the "Transaction"). Enerflex's
common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX") under the symbol "EFX", and the Company will commence
trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol
"EFXT" on October 13, 2022.
Enerflex is a premier integrated global provider
of energy infrastructure and energy transition solutions. With
enhanced scale and capabilities, Enerflex is optimally positioned
to serve customers in key natural gas, energy transition, and
produced water markets, which will enhance long-term shareholder
value through sustainable improvements in efficiency,
profitability, and cash flow generation.
"Today marks the beginning of the new Enerflex,
and we couldn't be more excited to officially unite our talented
teams and best-in-class capabilities to deliver leading modular
energy solutions to our expanded customer base," said Marc
Rossiter, Enerflex's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With
our premier global platform, diversified offerings, and
cash-flow-generative business model, Enerflex is ideally positioned
to opportunistically harness macro trends to meet the growing
global need for natural gas and energy security and be resilient
through all commodity cycles. We welcome our new colleagues and
look forward to building upon the impressive legacies of both
companies as we efficiently, thoughtfully, and reliably serve our
customers and deliver sustained growth and value for
shareholders."
In accordance with the merger agreement,
Exterran stockholders will receive 1.021 common shares of Enerflex
for each share of Exterran common stock held. The trading of
Exterran common stock is expected to be suspended today.
Immediately following the close of the
Transaction, Enerflex will be focused on successfully integrating
the two companies to become a more resilient, profitable, and
efficient business, which includes delivering on expected cost
savings and synergies of approximately U.S.$60 million annually.
Discretionary cash flow will initially be directed at strengthening
the Company's financial position, with Enerflex targeting its
bank-adjusted net debt to EBITDA ratio to be below 2.5 times within
12 to 18 months.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
On October 12, 2022, Enerflex successfully
closed its previously announced private offering (the "Offering")
of U.S.$625 million aggregate principal amount of 9.00% senior
secured notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). Enerflex intends to use the
net proceeds of the Offering, together with its U.S.$150 million
three-year secured term loan facility, an initial draw under its
U.S.$700 million three-year secured revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility"), and cash on hand, to fully repay the
existing Enerflex and Exterran notes and revolving credit
facilities and put in place a new debt capital structure. The
balance of the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for committed
capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes and will
provide significant liquidity for Enerflex.
The Notes and the related guarantees were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any state
securities laws, or the laws of any other jurisdiction, and the
Company does not intend to register the Notes or the related
guarantees. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell,
or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes, nor shall there
be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
Enerflex has approximately 123.7 million common
shares outstanding as of October 13, 2022.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS UPDATE
Enerflex is committed to maintaining the highest
standards of corporate governance, benefitting from the experience
of the existing members of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"), as well as James Gouin, who will be joining the
Board from Exterran. Mr. Gouin will serve on the Audit
Committee.
