Tervita Corporation Announces Success of Consent Solicitation to Amend its 7.625% Senior Secured Notes Due 2021

CALGARY, May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Tervita Corporation ("Tervita") today announced that, in connection with its previously announced consent solicitation (the "Solicitation") with respect to proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indenture (the "Indenture") governing its 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "Notes"), Tervita had received, as of 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 21, 2018, consents from the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (other than Notes held by Tervita or any of its affiliates). Tervita, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and the trustees party to the Indenture have today entered into a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture to give effect to the Proposed Amendments. The purpose of the Proposed Amendments is to amend specified provisions of the Indenture to permit Tervita to incur additional second-lien indebtedness on a one-time basis to facilitate Tervita's acquisition of Newalta Corporation ("Newalta") upon the closing of the Arrangement (as defined below) and the retirement of the indebtedness of Newalta pursuant to the plan of arrangement (the "Newalta Plan of Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Arrangement").

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 15, 2018 (the "Statement"), including consummation of the Arrangement, Tervita will pay to the paying agent for the benefit of eligible holders of Notes who validly delivered and did not validly revoke their consents on or prior to the Expiration Time, a cash payment equal to US$5.00 per US$1,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes consented (the "Consent Payment"). The Proposed Amendments will not become operative unless the Arrangement is consummated and the Consent Payment is made. The Consent Payment will only be paid upon the completion of the Arrangement, and Tervita expects to make the Consent Payment on or promptly after the date of the closing of the Arrangement.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. was Solicitation Agent for the Solicitation and D.F. King & Co., Inc. was Information and Tabulation Agent for the Solicitation.

This announcement is for information purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of a consent or an offer to buy or sell any security.  This announcement is also not a solicitation of consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments or any securities.  The Solicitation is not being made in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such solicitation under applicable state or foreign securities or "blue sky" laws.
