EFX Enerflex Ltd

Enerflex Ltd. (TSX:EFX) (“Enerflex” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”), a leading supplier of products and services to the global energy industry, announced today that S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) have each provided an initial credit rating for the pro forma combination of Enerflex and Exterran Corporation (“Exterran”). S&P’s initial corporate credit rating is BB- with a stable outlook and Fitch’s initial long-term issuer rating is BB- with a stable outlook. The ratings will be used to support our previously announced high yield debt offering that we intend to pursue.

On January 24, 2022, Enerflex and Exterran announced an intention to combine in an all-share transaction, creating a premier integrated global provider of energy infrastructure (the “Transaction”). Upon closing, Enerflex will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Exterran on the basis of 1.021 Enerflex common shares for each outstanding share of common stock of Exterran, resulting in approximately 124 million Enerflex common shares outstanding, representing an implied combined enterprise value of approximately US$1.5 billion. The transaction value for Exterran is approximately US$735 million, which represents an 18% premium to Exterran’s enterprise value as of January 21, 2022, the last trading day before the Transaction was announced. The combined company will operate as Enerflex and will remain headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Enerflex will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “EFX” and intends to apply to either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ exchange for the listing of Enerflex common shares to be effective upon Transaction close.

The Transaction combines highly complementary product lines, geographies, and asset bases, which are expected to materially enhance scale and utilization and provide operating efficiencies for the combined company’s customers.

Transaction and Financing Update

The Company continues to progress all matters that need to be addressed to close the Transaction, including the filing of necessary regulatory approvals. Enerflex expects to file, during the second quarter of 2022, an information circular (the "Circular") with respect to the shareholder approvals that are required for the Transaction. The Circular will contain a detailed description of the Transaction and will be available under our electronic profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com as well as Enerflex’s website. All Enerflex shareholders are urged to read the Circular once available as it will contain important information concerning the Transaction.

Enerflex recently completed the syndication of a new senior secured revolving credit facility for a 3-year term subject to annual extension. RBC Capital Markets, TD Securities, and The Bank of Nova Scotia served as Joint Bookrunners and Co-Lead Arrangers for the facility which was significantly oversubscribed. With the support of the lenders, Enerflex elected to upsize the facility size from US$600 million to US$700 million to provide enhanced liquidity. The new credit facility is in addition to the fully committed US$925 million 5-year bridge loan facility entered into between Enerflex and Royal Bank of Canada as previously announced. The bridge loan will provide financing to backstop an anticipated issuance of new high yield debt securities prior to closing of the Transaction. The committed financing is sufficient to fully repay the existing Enerflex and Exterran notes as well as amounts outstanding under the existing revolving credit facilities and supports putting in place a new capital structure, provides for capital expenditures and other ordinary course capital needs, and provides significant liquidity for the pro forma business.
