The Company had drawn $15.0 million under this loan facility prior to its repayment.
The Bridge Loan was executed during the first quarter of 2022 in order to fund the Company's short-term working capital requirements as the pressure pumping services market significantly improved in North America.

Moving forward, we remain focused on further optimizing our operating efficiencies, securing net pricing increases from our customers and prudently allocating capital in order to maximize the Company's free cash flow, which will be dedicated to further reductions in our long-term debt."
