Gibson Announces Expansion of Its Canwest Propane Business

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 14, 2014) - Gibson Energy Inc. ("Gibson" or the "Company"), (TSX:GEI), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent to acquire Cal-Gas Inc. ("Cal-Gas"), a retail propane company with operations across Canada. Complementing this proposed acquisition, on April 1, 2014, Gibson closed the purchase of Stittco Energy Limited ("Stittco"), a provider of propane equipment, service and delivery to commercial, industrial and residential customers in Northern Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.

"These two acquisitions offer extensive asset and operational synergies with Gibson and will provide an expanded geographic footprint and a new propane growth platform in Manitoba, Ontario and the Northwest Territories," said Sam van Aken, Gibson's Senior Vice President Propane Marketing and Distribution. "Both companies will add to our customer base with a weighting of oil and gas, commercial industrial and residential customers similar to that of our existing business. We are excited about the additional talent, assets and locations which these acquisitions will bring to support Gibson's growth strategy."

The Stittco transaction was funded, and the Cal-Gas transaction will be funded, from Gibson's available cash on hand plus the Company's existing credit facilities. The transactions are not considered to be material to the Company from a financial perspective. Gibson is targeting a second quarter closing for the Cal-Gas transaction.
