Tender Results
Calfrac announces that, according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary and

of the Expiration Time.
All of the Existing Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time will be accepted for purchase by the
Company. The withdrawal deadline with respect to the Existing Notes has expired. Accordingly, validly tendered Existing Notes
tendered through expiration of the Tender Offer may not be withdrawn, except as set forth in the Tender Offer Memorandum dated

About the Tender Offer
The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
May 22, 2018. Payment for the Exiting Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase prior to the
Expiration Time and validly tendered and delivered (and not validly revoked) will be made promptly on the May 30, 2018 (the "Settlement Date"). Holders of Existing Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time will
receive the tender offer consideration of $1,013.70 per $1,000
principal amount of Existing Notes tendered. In addition, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the tendered Existing Notes
up to but not including the Settlement Date. Any Existing Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned
to the tendering party following the expiration or termination of the Tender Offer.
The Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Offer Memorandum. The Company may
amend the conditions or extend or terminate the Tender Offer at its sole discretion.
Planned Redemption of Existing Notes
The Company intends to redeem the remaining Existing Notes not purchased on the Settlement Date on or promptly after
June 8, 2018 at the then-applicable redemption price of 101.250% (the "Redemption"). If the Company
does not complete the Redemption, it may, from time to time, purchase additional Existing Notes in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or may redeem the Existing Notes pursuant to the
terms of the indenture governing the Existing Notes. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or
less favorable to holders of the Existing Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer. Any future purchases by the Company will
depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or
combinations thereof) the Company will choose to pursue in the future.

securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "project", "should",
"believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information or statements. More
particularly and without limitation, this press release contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the
settlement of the Existing Notes tendered and accepted by the Company in the Tender Offer and the Company's planned redemption of
the Existing Notes not tendered in the Tender Offer and potential alternative methods of purchasing the remaining untendered
Existing Notes.
These forward-looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Calfrac in
light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other
factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: the economic and
political environment in which Calfrac operates; Calfrac's expectations for its customers' capital budgets and geographical areas
of focus; the effect unconventional oil and gas projects have had on supply and demand fundamentals for oil and natural gas;
Calfrac's existing contracts and the status of current negotiations with key customers and suppliers; the effectiveness of cost
reduction measures instituted by Calfrac; and the likelihood that the current tax and regulatory regime will remain substantially
unchanged.
Although Calfrac believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward looking statements and information are
based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements and information as Calfrac cannot
give any assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and
conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with: global
economic conditions; the level of exploration, development and production for oil and natural gas in Canada, the United States, Russia and
Argentina; the demand for fracturing and other stimulation services during drilling and
completion of oil and natural gas wells; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas and the effect of this volatility on
the demand for oilfield services generally; excess oilfield equipment levels; regional competition; the availability of capital
on satisfactory terms; restrictions resulting from compliance with debt covenants and risk of acceleration of indebtedness;
direct and indirect exposure to volatile credit markets, including credit rating risk; sourcing, pricing and availability of raw
materials, component parts, equipment, suppliers, facilities and skilled personnel; currency exchange rate risk; risks associated
with foreign operations; operating restrictions and compliance costs associated with legislative and regulatory initiatives
relating to hydraulic fracturing and the protection of workers and the environment; changes in legislation and the regulatory
environment; dependence on, and concentration of, major customers; liabilities and risks, including environmental liabilities and
risks, inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties in weather and temperature affecting the duration of the service
periods and the activities that can be completed; liabilities and risks associated with prior operations; liabilities relating to
legal and/or administrative proceedings; failure to maintain Calfrac's safety standards and record; failure to realize
anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions; the ability to integrate technological advances and match advances from
competitors; intellectual property risks; third party credit risk; and the effect of accounting pronouncements issued
periodically. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof
and Calfrac does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
