Jupiter Announces Mailing of Information Circular with respect to Recapitalization Transaction

CALGARY, Nov. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Jupiter Resources Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Jupiter" or the "Company") announced today that it has mailed its management information circular (the "Information Circular") and related materials in connection with its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the "Recapitalization Transaction") under the Canada Business Corporations Act to be implemented pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement"). The materials have been mailed to the holders of the Company's US$1.1 billion 8.5% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2022 (the "Senior Notes"). The Information Circular and related materials are also available on the Company's website.

The Company announced the Recapitalization Transaction on October 30, 2018 and advised that it had entered into a support agreement with holders of approximately 85% of the Senior Notes (the "Supporting Noteholders"), pursuant to which the Supporting Noteholders, among other things, agreed to vote in favour of and support the Recapitalization Transaction.  

Noteholder Meeting

On November 9, 2018, Jupiter announced the granting of an interim order of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta (the "Court") which authorized Jupiter to, among other things, convene a meeting (the "Meeting") of holders of the Senior Notes (the "Noteholders"). The Meeting will be held for the Noteholders to consider and vote to approve the Plan of Arrangement. The Meeting is scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 3500-855, 2^nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 4J8, on December 12, 2018. The record date for the Meeting was November 8, 2018.

Noteholder Elections to be made in Connection with the Plan of Arrangement

As part of the Plan of Arrangement, Noteholders will need to advise their respective bank, broker, nominee or other intermediary that holds their Senior Notes (an "Intermediary") as to certain information and elections required of Noteholders in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement.

These elections and requisite Noteholder information include the following:

Noteholders are required to advise their Intermediary of their respective Elections and Registration Instructions in a timely manner such that their respective Intermediary can submit all such information prior to 3:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on December 5, 2018 (the "Participation Deadline"). Noteholders must advise their Intermediary of their Elections and Registration Instructions prior to their Intermediary's own internal deadlines, which will be before the Participation Deadline. Noteholders should contact their Intermediary with any questions on submitting their Elections and Registration Instructions as their Intermediary may have its own processes for collecting instructions with respect to these matters and the Plan of Arrangement. An instruction form is included with the Information Circular to assist Noteholders in providing their Intermediary with their Elections and Registration Instructions in a timely manner.  If Noteholders have questions regarding the instruction form, they are encouraged to contact Kingsdale Advisors in its capacity as exchange agent toll free at 1 (855) 682-2031 or outside North America at (416) 867-2272 or by e-mail at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com.
