CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2016) - Logan International Inc. (LOGAN) (TSX:LII) today announced
that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with a wholly-owned subsidiary
("Rubicon") of Rubicon Oilfield International Holdings, L.P., pursuant to which Rubicon will acquire all of the
outstanding common shares of Logan for CDN$1.49 per share (the "Transaction"). The combination of the two
companies will create a global oilfield products and equipment company with the potential for growth across its product
lines.
Additionally, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement provide that Logan and its subsidiaries may continue with their efforts
to sell all of the equity of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, one or both of two of Logan's subsidiaries, Logan
Completion Systems Inc. and Logan SuperAbrasives Inc., on the terms set forth in the Arrangement Agreement (the
"Subsidiary Sales"). Provided that the Subsidiary Sales are completed at least two business days prior to
the special meeting of Logan's common shareholders that will be held to approve this Transaction, an amount in cash equal to (i)
any net proceeds on an after-tax basis (calculated in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement) received by Logan
or the applicable subsidiary from the Subsidiary Sales, divided by (ii) the number of issued and outstanding common shares of
Logan on the date that is two business days prior to the closing of the Transaction (the "Additional
Consideration"), will be added to the CDN$1.49 paid per share.
The CDN$1.49 price per share payable under the Transaction before factoring in any Additional Consideration payable in
connection with the Subsidiary Sales represents an 86% premium over Logan's share closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange on
August 26, 2016, the last trading day before the announcement of the Transaction.
Recommendation of the Logan Board of Directors
Following an extensive review and analysis of the Transaction and other available alternatives, the Logan Board of Directors
has unanimously, after receiving legal and financial advice, determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of Logan
and fair to Logan's common shareholders and recommends that Logan's common shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction at a
special meeting of Logan's common shareholders to be held on or about October 20 , 2016. In addition, all of the
directors and officers of Logan, who own in aggregate approximately 2.6% of the outstanding Logan common shares, and Cadent
Logan, S.à.r.l., who owns approximately 52.4% of the outstanding Logan common shares, have signed agreements to vote their shares
in favour of the Transaction and otherwise support the Transaction.
Piper Jaffray & Co., through its Simmons & Company International division, is acting as financial advisor to Logan and has
provided the Logan Board of Directors with its oral opinion that the consideration to be received by Logan's common shareholders
is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders. A copy of the written fairness opinion will be included in
the information circular to be sent to Logan's common shareholders for the special meeting to be called to consider the
Transaction.
Additional Information on the Transaction
The Transaction is to be effected pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act
(Alberta). The Arrangement Agreement between Logan and Rubicon provides for, among other things, a non-solicitation covenant
on the part of Logan, subject to customary "fiduciary out" provisions, that entitles Logan to consider and accept a superior
proposal if Rubicon does not match the superior proposal within a five business day period. If the Arrangement Agreement is
terminated in certain circumstances, including if Logan enters into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal, Rubicon is
entitled to a termination payment of CDN$3.0 million.
Completion of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of
Alberta of the Transaction, approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by Logan's common shareholders at such special meeting,
applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain other closing conditions that are customary for a transaction of this
nature. Assuming approval of the Transaction by Logan's common shareholders, the Transaction is expected to close on or
about October 21, 2016.
Full details of the Transaction will be included in an information circular to be mailed to Logan's common shareholders in
accordance with applicable laws.
A copy of the Arrangement Agreement, the information circular and related documents will be filed with Canadian securities
regulators and will be available under the profile of Logan at www.sedar.com.
