CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 15, 2015) -

THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES ONLY AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES

Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. ("Tidewater" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has completed its initial public offering of 3,000,000 common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") at $1.00 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $3,000,000.

The Common Shares are conditionally approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "TWM" and are expected to commence trading on or about April 16, 2015.

Proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for the acquisition of five pressure rail cars, which is expected to close in the second quarter 2015 (the "Railcar Acquisition") and for general and administrative, offering and listing expenses. Following completion of the Railcar Acquisition, the Corporation will have working capital of approximately $5,500,000 which is expected to be deployed for the acquisition of midstream assets or entities with infrastructure from the wellhead through to the end market. These may include gas plants, rail spurs, port assets and related midstream assets.

The Offering was completed with a syndicate of agents co-led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and CIBC World Markets Inc. and included Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Agents received a commission equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Tidewater is a newly incorporated entity formed to pursue the purchase, sale, and transportation of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") throughout North America and export to overseas markets. The Corporation has executed a letter agreement with a leading railcar supplier to purchase five railcars that are each capable of carrying 33,690 U.S. gallons of NGLs per railcar and expects to close the Railcar Acquisition in the second quarter of 2015.

1080766 Alberta Ltd., a corporation owned by Joel A. MacLeod (and his spouse) of Calgary, Alberta, a director and Chairman of the Corporation, purchased 262,500 Common Shares under the Offering. Mr. MacLeod was also granted restricted share units ("RSU") to acquire 46,000 Common Shares. Accordingly, Joel A. MacLeod, beneficially owns or controls 2,862,500 Common Shares, representing approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Corporation on a non-diluted basis (not including RSUs). The Common Shares were acquired for investment purposes and Mr. MacLeod may increase or decrease his beneficial ownership or control depending on market or other conditions.

The Corporation has also approved the grant of an aggregate 386,000 RSUs to directors and officers of the Corporation (including Mr. MacLeod's RSUs), subject to the terms of the Restricted Share Unit Plan as filed on SEDAR as a schedule to the Final Prospectus. The Corporation has determined that exemptions from the various requirements of TSX Venture Exchange Policies are available for the granting of the RSUs.

Cautionary Notes

The Corporation's Business

The Corporation has no business at this time. Other than the Letter Agreement, the Corporation has entered into no agreements at this time for the execution of its intended business plan for the purchase, sale, and transportation of NGLs throughout North America and export to overseas markets. Although Management has no reason to believe the Railcar Acquisition will not close, the Corporation is dependent on the Railcar Acquisition for the generation of revenue and without the completion of the Railcar Acquisition the Corporation will have no assets other than cash.
