Crescent Point Announces CDN$500 Million Bought Deal Offering of Common Shares

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crescent Point Energy Corp. ("Crescent Point" or the "Company") (TSX and NYSE: CPG) today announced that it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by BMO Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets (collectively the “Underwriters”) under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis 48,550,000 Crescent Point common shares (“Common Shares”) at $10.30 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately CDN$500 million (the “Offering”).

Crescent Point intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to partially fund the cash portion of the consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Hammerhead Energy Inc., an oil and liquids-rich Alberta Montney producer, which was announced today in a separate news release issued by Crescent Point (the “Transaction”). Total consideration for the Transaction is approximately CDN$2.55 billion.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about November 10, 2023. Crescent Point has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions of the Offering, up to an additional 15 percent of the Common Shares issued in connection with the Offering. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the Underwriters at any time until and including 30 days after closing of the Offering. The maximum gross proceeds raised under the Offering will be approximately CDN$575 million, in the event the Over-Allotment Option is fully exercised.

The closing of the Offering is not conditional upon the completion of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not completed, Crescent Point intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to reduce existing indebtedness, finance future growth opportunities including acquisitions, finance its capital expenditures or for other general corporate purposes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, such as section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). The forward-looking statements contained herein include estimates of Crescent Point's plan in respect of the use of proceeds from the Offering of Common Shares; the purchase price and consideration to be paid by Crescent Point in connection with the Transaction; the anticipated timing of the closing of the Transaction, and other assumptions inherent in management's expectations in respect of the forward-looking statements identified herein.

In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, among other things, the following: Crescent Point's intended use of the net proceeds from the Offering; the Offering's expected closing date; the completion of the Transaction; and the use of the net proceeds from the Offering, including in the event the Transaction is not completed.

All forward-looking statements are based on Crescent Point's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this press release should not be unduly relied upon. By their nature, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2022 under "Risk Factors", our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022 under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information", and our Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, under the heading "Forward-Looking Information". The material assumptions are disclosed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2022, under the headings “Overview”, “Commodity Derivatives”, "Liquidity and Capital Resources", "Critical Accounting Estimates" and "Guidance" and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, under the headings "Overview", "Commodity Derivatives", "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Guidance". In addition, risk factors include: the Offering may not be completed, or may not be completed in the timeline that is currently expected and the Transaction may not be completed, or may not be completed in a timely manner. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and Crescent Point's future course of action depends on management's assessment of all information available at the relevant time.

Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Crescent Point's operations or financial results are included in Crescent Point's reports on file with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information, which is given as of the date it is expressed herein or otherwise. Crescent Point undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to Crescent Point or persons acting on the Company's behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
