UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Arcan Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ARN) ("Arcan" or the "Corporation") has
reached an agreement to amend its credit facility following an annual review by
the Corporation's syndicate of lenders, led by Alberta Treasury Branches and
including National Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce and Royal Bank of Canada. Arcan's total credit commitment has been
reduced from $190 million to $180 million and will continue to revolve until May
28, 2015.
Under the amended terms, Arcan's credit facility matures on May 28, 2015, unless
the Corporation and its syndicate of lenders agree to an amendment, renewal or
extension of the credit facility. The credit facility's borrowing base was
determined to be $180 million based on Arcan's reserves report for the period
ended December 31, 2013. The credit facility is comprised of a $170 million
syndicated revolving credit facility and a $10 million non-syndicated revolving
operating credit facility. The $180 million borrowing base is subject to a
review by the syndicate on or before October 31, 2014. As of June 6, 2014, Arcan
had a total of $155.0 million drawn on the credit facilities, and is compliant
with its covenants thereunder.
Arcan continues to advance its core objective of delivering sustainable and
profitable production funded by funds from operations, while maintaining a
strong focus on production optimization, cost management and capital efficiency.
The Corporation plans lower capital investments during the second and third
quarters of 2014, when access to the Swan Hills area is limited due to soft
ground conditions, that are expected to provide positive cash flow to help
reduce debt. The credit facility is expected to provide Arcan with financial
flexibility to execute its 2014 capital program.
ANNUAL AND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
Arcan's annual and special meeting is scheduled for June 24, 2014, at 3:00 p.m.
in the McMurray Room of the Petroleum Club, located at 319 - 5th Avenue SW,
Calgary, Alberta.
