Ceiba Energy Services Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of Convertible Debentures

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 6, 2016) - Ceiba Energy Services Inc. ("Ceiba" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CEB) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of unsecured convertible debentures ("Debentures") for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000. The proceeds of the Debenture issuance will be used for the development of the Company's Kaybob Class 1B waste fluid disposal facility, which is expected to be operational in late 2016, and for general corporate purposes. The Kaybob facility will add 180,000 m3/year of disposal capacity to Ceiba and is expected to generate incremental cash flow per share in 2017. Further, the Company announces its intention to repay the $7.3 million 12% convertible debentures due July 31, 2016 with cash on hand and borrowings from the Company's credit facility.

Each Debenture will have an issue price of $1,000 per Debenture, mature on June 30, 2020 and will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. The Debentures and common shares in the capital of Ceiba (the "Common Shares") issued upon conversion thereof will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance of the Debentures in accordance with applicable securities laws and, if required, the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. A cash finder's fee of 5.5% may be paid in connection with the Private Placement. The Private Placement is expected to close on or around July 5, 2016.

Each Debenture is convertible into Common Shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to redemption or maturity (as the case may be), at the price of $0.40 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), which is equivalent to 2,500 Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The Company may redeem the Debentures for cash on and after the second anniversary of issuance, in whole or in part, from time to time without bonus or penalty, upon required prior notice at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days preceding the date on which notice of redemption notice is given is at least 125% of the Conversion Price.

The closing of the Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
