CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 10, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

CWC Well Services Corp. ("CWC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CWC) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced bought deal financing (the "Offering") detailed in the Company's press release dated March 20, 2014 supporting the acquisition of Ironhand Drilling Inc. (the "Acquisition"). CWC issued a total of 34,270,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.84 per subscription receipt (the "Offering Price"), for gross proceeds of $28,786,800 as part of a bought deal financing with a syndicate of underwriters led by FirstEnergy Capital Corp. and including Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited (the "Underwriters"). This amount includes the full exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 4,470,000 subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $3,754,800.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of all conditions to the completion of the Acquisition, provided that the closing date of the Acquisition is on or before June 30, 2014, upon which time each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to receive one CWC common share (the "Common Share"), without further payment or action on the part of the holder. If the Acquisition is not completed on or before June 30, 2014 or is terminated at an earlier time, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, for each Subscription Receipt held, a cash payment equal to the Offering Price and any interest earned thereon during the term of the escrow. It is anticipated that the Subscription Receipts will be listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "CWC.R" at the open of markets today and will remain listed until the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into Common Shares is completed. It is anticipated that $23,724,000 of the net proceeds from the issuance of Subscription Receipts will be used to fund the Acquisition with the remainder to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur on or about May 15, 2014.

The financing was completed by way of a short form prospectus in all of the provinces of Canada except Quebec and on a private placement basis in the United States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. securities laws.
