Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 15, 2018, Civeo Corporation (“Civeo”) entered into an amending agreement (the “Amending Agreement”) by and among Civeo, Noralta Lodge Ltd. (“Noralta”), Torgerson Family Trust (“Torgerson Trust”), 2073357 Alberta Ltd., 2073358 Alberta Ltd., 1818939 Alberta Ltd., 2040618 Alberta Ltd., 2040624 Alberta Ltd., 989677 Alberta Ltd. and Lance Torgerson (collectively, the “Parties”).

 

The Amending Agreement amends the share purchase agreement, dated November 26, 2017 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Parties to, among other things, place an additional C$30 million of the total consideration into an escrow account, comprised of C$14.960 million of cash, 2,340,824 Civeo common shares and 692 Civeo convertible preferred shares (collectively, the “Contingent Consideration”) to be released to Civeo and/or the current shareholders of Noralta based on the actual increased employee compensation costs that may be incurred by Noralta as a result of the recent union certification of certain classes of Noralta employees by UNITE HERE Local 47, as described below.

 

On March 14, 2018 the Alberta Labour Relations Board (the “ALRB”) approved an application for certification as bargaining agent brought by UNITE HERE Local 47 affecting certain classes of employees of Noralta.  As a result of this approval, UNITE HERE Local 47 has been certified as bargaining agent for such Noralta employees and it is expected that a collective bargaining agreement will be entered into between Noralta and UNITE HERE Local 47 for the referenced employees of Noralta. When a collective bargaining agreement is reached, Civeo anticipates that Noralta will be subject to increased employee compensation costs and would experience a decrease in EBITDA from what was previously expected.  The actual expected increased employee compensation costs will not be known until a collective bargaining agreement has been reached between Noralta and UNITE HERE Local 47.  Accordingly, the Parties have agreed that the Contingent Consideration will be deposited into escrow upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement to potentially adjust the purchase price to compensate Civeo for the expected increase in employee compensation costs resulting from collective bargaining agreement with UNITE HERE Local 47.

 

The foregoing description of the Amending Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Amending Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

 

Closing of the acquisition of Noralta by Civeo under the Share Purchase Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreement is still subject to Civeo’s shareholders approving the issuance of Civeo shares in connection with the acquisition and other customary closing conditions, including listing of the shares to be issued in the acquisition on the New York Stock Exchange. Civeo has called a special meeting of its shareholders on March 28, 2018 at which shareholders will be asked to approve the share issuance.

 

To the extent that information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) differs from or updates information contained in the proxy statement filed by Civeo on Schedule 14A, file No. 001-36246, on February 2, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”), the information in this Form 8-K shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement.

 

This Form 8-K and the Amending Agreement do not affect the validity of any proxy card or voting instructions that Civeo shareholders may have previously received or delivered. If a shareholder has already submitted a proxy or voting instructions, he or she will be considered to have voted as specified in that proxy or voting instructions and does not need to take any action, unless he or she wishes to revoke his or her proxy or change his or her voting instructions.

 

If a shareholder still has the proxy card that was sent along with the Proxy Statement, such shareholder may cause his or her shares to be voted at the Civeo special meeting by signing that proxy card and returning it by mail or by following the instructions on that proxy card for voting by telephone or Internet.

 

 

Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 15, 2018, Civeo issued a press release announcing its entry into the Amending Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference. The information furnished in Item 7.01 is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act.
