Gibson Energy Announces $900 Million Medium Term Note Offerings and $200 Million Hybrid Note Offering (CNW Group/Gibson Energy Inc.)

The offerings of Notes (the "Offerings") are expected to close concurrently on or about July 12, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. Gibson intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of South Texas Gateway Terminal, LLC (the "Acquisition") announced on June 14, 2023 and to fund fees and expenses associated with the Acquisition, including financings for the Acquisition. The completion of the Offerings are not contingent upon each other or the completion of the Acquisition.

The completion of the Offerings together with the completion of the previously announced offering of subscription receipts, currently expected to close on June 22, 2023, will provide the Company with the funds necessary to complete the Acquisition and, accordingly, the Company does not expect to close or draw on any of its previously announced committed acquisition credit facilities.

Gibson will be required to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid (including deferred, as applicable) interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, if (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 14, 2023, or (ii) prior to such time, the agreement providing for the Acquisition is terminated in accordance with its terms, or Gibson issues a press release announcing or notifies the trustees for the Notes, that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition.

The Senior Notes have been assigned provisional ratings of "BBB(low)" with a "Stable" trend by DBRS Morningstar and "BBB-" by S&P Global Ratings. The Hybrid Notes have been assigned provisional ratings of "BB" with a "Stable" trend by DBRS Morningstar and "BB" by S&P Global Ratings.

The Notes are being offered through a syndicate of investment dealers led by RBC Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets. The Senior Notes will be issued under Gibson's short form base shelf prospectus dated August 16, 2021 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated December 7, 2021 and pricing supplements to be dated June 22, 2023. The Hybrid Notes will be issued under Gibson's short form base shelf prospectus dated August 16, 2021 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement to be dated June 22, 2023.
