June 30, 2021

CALGARY, AB, June 30, 2021 /CNW/ - Calfrac Well Services Ltd. ("Calfrac" or the "Company") (TSX: CFW) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with its lenders which amends and extends its credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities").

The principal amendments to the Credit Facilities include, among others, the following items:

     an extension of the maturity date from June 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023;

     a voluntary reduction in the Credit Facilities from $290.0 million to $225.0 million, with the syndicated facility being reduced from $259.1 million to $180.0 million and the operating facility being increased from $30.1 million to $45.0 million. Such reductions are anticipated to continue to provide Calfrac with a strong liquidity position and will also result in lower stand-by fees; and

     the addition of a $25.0 million accordion feature.

Calfrac's Chief Financial Officer, Mike Olinek, commented: "We are pleased to report a 13-month extension to the Credit Facilities with our lending syndicate. Business conditions are continuing to improve for Calfrac in 2021, and our management team is highly focused on achieving further progress in revenue growth, cost management, margin expansion and debt reduction. The extension of our Credit Facilities is one important element of our ongoing financing plan, and positions Calfrac to advance our strategy in the context of an improving business environment."
