Seven Generations Energy Ltd. Announces US$300 Million Private Placement of 8.250% Senior Notes Due 2020

CALGARY, Feb. 5, 2014 /CNW/ - Seven Generations Energy Ltd. (the "Company") announced today that it has closed a private placement (the "Offering") of US$300 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.250% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued under a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to an indenture governing the terms of the Notes (the "Base Indenture") and were priced at 107% of par (implying a yield of 6.65%), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of US$321 million.

The Company intends to use net proceeds from the Offering to fund, in part, its 2014 capital expenditure plan.

Prior to the Offering, there were outstanding US$400 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.250% Senior Notes due 2020 issued on May 10, 2013 (the "Initial Notes"). In connection with the Offering, the Company solicited consents (the "Consents") from the holders of the Initial Notes (the "Solicitation") to waive the debt incurrence test in the Base Indenture, so as to permit the Offering, provided that the aggregate principal amount of additional Notes issued in connection with the Offering does not exceed US$300 million. The Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 31, 2014 (the "Expiration Time").  By January 30, 2014, the Company had received Consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes, and correspondingly entered into the Supplemental Indenture giving effect to the waiver and authorizing the issuance of the Notes.

As previously announced, the Company will pay to each holder of Initial Notes on record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 23, 2014 who delivered a valid Consent in respect of such Initial Notes prior to the Expiration Time (and did not validly revoke its Consent prior to the execution of the Supplemental Indenture), US$5.00 in cash for each US$1,000 principal amount of such Initial Notes in respect of which a valid Consent was so delivered (and was not validly revoked) (the "Consent Fee"). The Company expects to pay the Consent Fee promptly. Holders of Initial Notes who delivered Consents but validly revoked their Consents in accordance with the Solicitation documents prior to the execution of the Supplemental Indenture, or who delivered Consents after the Expiration Time, will not receive a Consent Fee.

The Notes have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act").
