HOUSTON — Civeo Corporation (NYSE: CVEO) today announced the definitive pricing of its offering of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2031. This strategic financial maneuver, conducted as a private offering to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, is set to bolster Civeo’s capital structure through debt reduction and a concurrent share repurchase program.
The notes, which represent senior, unsecured obligations of Civeo, will carry an annual interest rate of 4.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2027. The issuance and sale of these notes are scheduled to settle on July 7, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Furthermore, Civeo has granted the initial purchasers an option to acquire up to an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes, exercisable for settlement within 13 days from the initial issuance date.
Conversion Mechanics and Premium Structure
The convertible nature of these notes introduces a dynamic element for investors. Noteholders will possess the right to convert their notes into Civeo’s common shares, cash, or a combination thereof, at Civeo’s election. Prior to May 1, 2031, conversion rights are contingent upon the occurrence of specific events. However, from May 1, 2031, onwards, noteholders may elect to convert their notes at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of August 1, 2031.
The initial conversion rate for the notes is set at 24.6840 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, translating to an initial conversion price of approximately $40.51 per common share. This conversion price represents a premium of approximately 20.0% over the last reported sale price of Civeo’s common shares, which stood at $33.76 on July 1, 2026. The conversion rate and price are subject to adjustment based on certain predefined events, offering flexibility in response to market dynamics.
Redemption and Repurchase Provisions
Civeo retains specific options for redemption, providing management with tools to optimize its balance sheet. The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at Civeo’s discretion on or after August 1, 2029, and on or before the 60th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. This redemption is conditional on the last reported sale price per common share exceeding 130% of the conversion price for a specified period, alongside other stipulated conditions.
Additionally, Civeo may redeem the notes in their entirety if certain changes in tax law occur or if the outstanding principal amount falls below 10% of the initially issued aggregate principal amount. In such redemption scenarios, the price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. Furthermore, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the notes’ indenture, Civeo will offer to repurchase the notes for cash at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Strategic Use of Proceeds and Financial Impact
Civeo estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $96.2 million, or approximately $110.8 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to acquire additional notes, after accounting for discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses. A significant portion of these proceeds, approximately $22.3 million, is earmarked for the repurchase of 660,297 of its common shares. These repurchases are planned to occur concurrently with the pricing of the offering through privately negotiated transactions.
The remainder of the net proceeds will be strategically deployed to repay outstanding borrowings under Civeo’s amended and restated syndicated facility agreement. This dual approach of debt reduction and share repurchase underscores a commitment to both strengthening the balance sheet and enhancing shareholder value. The company acknowledges that these repurchases could influence the trading price of its common shares and may have affected the initial terms of the notes, including the conversion price.
