THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. Estrella International Energy Services Ltd. (the "Company" or "Estrella") (TSX VENTURE:EEN), is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced CAD$25,000,000 private placement (the "Private Placement") with Ringo Holding L.P., a limited partnership of which Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund IV, L.P. is the sole general partner (the "Purchaser"). With the closing of the Private Placement the Purchaser has become a new control person of the Company and its single largest shareholder; holding approximately 55.7% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The shareholders of the Company approved the Private Placement and the creation of a new control person at the Company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on June 25, 2012. The Private Placement was completed pursuant to an investment agreement dated June 26, 2012 (the "Investment Agreement"). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Purchaser purchased 166,666,667 units ("Units") of the Company at a price of CAD$0.15 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of 1 common share (a "Common Share") in the capital of the Company and 0.4 Common Share purchase warrants (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase 1 Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$0.15 per share (the "Exercise Price") for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance. After six months from the date of issuance, if the 10 day weighted average market price of the Common Shares is greater than CAD$0.25, the exercise price of the warrants will be equal to the higher of CAD$0.15 or 90% of the current market price. The Company expects to use part of the proceeds of the Private Placement to repay US$10,000,000 of outstanding indebtedness on its existing credit facility ("Credit Facility") with Credit Suisse AG (the "Lender"). The balance of the proceeds may be used to further reduce indebtedness and for working capital reserves to assist with new project start-ups in Latin America. As part of Estrella's plan to repay US$10,000,000 of the Credit Facility, the Company entered into an amended credit agreement with the Lender which (i) modifies the existing credit agreement to reduce administrative fees; (ii) modifies the amortization schedule such that Estrella will repay the remaining indebtedness in seven quarterly instalments of US$2,000,000 beginning on May 31, 2014; and (iii) frees up certain collateral currently pledged under the credit agreement in an effort to reduce administrative costs. In addition, the 3,072,000 Common Share purchase warrants which were issued to the Lender in connection with the Credit Facility were returned to the Company for cancellation. Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord") acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Private Placement, and was paid a success fee on closing.
