ACHESON, Alberta, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — North American Construction Group Ltd. (“NACG”) (TSX: NOA / NYSE: NOA) announced today that it has entered into an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters to sell, pursuant to a private placement offering (the “Offering”), an additional $125 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% senior unsecured notes due May 1, 2030 (the “Notes”), representing an additional issuance to the $225 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior unsecured notes issued on May 1, 2025 (the “Initial Notes”). The Offering is being led by National Bank Capital Markets, including its U.S. affiliates, ATB Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., TD Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Raymond James Ltd. Following the closing of the Offering, there is expected to be $350 million aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes and Notes outstanding.
The Notes will be issued at a price of 103% of their face value (plus accrued interest from May 1, 2025 to, but excluding, the date of the closing of the Offering), with a yield to worst of 6.778%. The Notes will have identical terms (except for their issuance date, issuance price, and initial interest accrual date) and be fungible (following the expiry of the applicable statutory hold period) with and be part of the same series as the Initial Notes.
NACG intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay indebtedness under its existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is expected to close on or about October 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes are being conditionally offered for sale in Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to certain prospectus exemptions.
