VAUGHAN, ON, Feb. 25, 2015 /CNW/ - GFL Environmental Inc. ("GFL") announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") for cash up to $50 million aggregate principal amount (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest) (the "Tender Cap") of its outstanding 7.500% Senior Unsecured Debentures due 2018 (the "Notes") from the holders thereof (the "Holders").  As of February 24, 2015, there was approximately $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. is the sole dealer manager for the Tender Offer. The following table sets forth certain terms of the Tender Offer.

Description of Notes	CUSIP (Reg S/144A)	ISIN (Reg S/144A)	Outstanding Principal Amount	Tender Offer Consideration^(1)	Early Tender Premium^(1)	Total Considera- tion^(1)(2)

Notes:
(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes
(2) Includes the Early Tender Premium.

The Tender Offer will be open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on March 24, 2015 (the "Expiration Time"), unless extended by GFL. Holders of Notes must tender their Notes to the Tender Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on March 10, 2015 (the "Early Tender Deadline") to receive the Total Consideration set forth in the table above. Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on March 10, 2015, unless extended (the "Withdrawal Deadline"), but not thereafter, except as required by law.  Holders who tender their Notes after the Withdrawal Deadline may not withdraw their Notes.

The Tender Offer is subject to certain terms and conditions (including financing), as set forth more fully in the Offer to Purchase dated February 25, 2015 to be distributed to Holders.  GFL reserves the right, subject to applicable law, in its sole discretion, to (i) waive any and all conditions to the Offer prior to the first acceptance of Notes for purchase; (ii) extend, terminate or withdraw the Offer; (iii) increase the Tender Cap at any time, or (iv) otherwise amend the Offer in any respect.

 Assuming the conditions to the Tender Offer are satisfied or waived, GFL intends to accept for payment up to $50 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer prior to the Expiration Time (subject to proration). Holders who tender their Notes prior to the Early Tender Deadline and who do not validly withdraw their Notes prior to the Withdrawal Deadline will receive the Total Consideration set forth in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer. Holders who tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and prior to the Expiration Time will receive the Tender Offer Consideration set forth in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In both cases, Holders will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the date the consideration referred to above is paid.

Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate purchase price for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Tender Cap to be exceeded.
