TSXV: WTA

CALGARY, June 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Winalta Inc. ("Winalta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, effective June 5, 2013, it has entered into new credit facilities with a financial institution.  The new facilities replace Winalta's current credit facilities with the same financial institution and consist of:

• $20.0 million revolving term loan facility, interest only payments, interest rate of prime + 1.50%.  Currently the Company has drawn $15.0 million of this facility.
• This loan facility replaces the $15.0 million facility with an interest rate of 1.75%
• $5.0 million evergreen line of credit, interest and principal payments, interest rate of prime + 1.50%.  The Company has $5.0 million available on this facility.
• This is a new facility which will be used to finance assets that have specific contractual arrangements with customers.
• $3.0 million operating loan facility (revolving), interest rate of prime + 1.00%.  The Company has not drawn any of the operating facility.
• This loan facility replaces a $3.0 million facility with an interest rate of 1.25%

The three facilities all have a maturity date of April 30, 2015.

The new evergreen line of credit is an important component of the Company's plan to continue to pursue its new product line, Intergraded Wellsite Systems (IWS).  The IWS was developed to meet the market's demand for better working and living quarters for SAGD and multilateral pad drilling.  The IWS enhances the Company's rental fleet with assets that provide a longer term revenue stream.

Winalta Oilfield Rentals, specializes in innovative and high-quality modular buildings for the Western Canadian Oil and Gas Industry. Winalta's rental fleet is comprised of single-unit Wellsites, Integrated Wellsite Systems (IWS), Dedicated Geo Labs, and Drill Camps.
