SECURE ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted for filing Secure Energy Services Inc.'s notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

Pursuant to the NCIB, Secure may repurchase from time to time up to a maximum of 23,196,967 common shares of the corporation, representing approximately 8.0 per cent of the 289,078,259 common shares outstanding as at Dec. 8, 2023, or 10 per cent of the corporation's public float. Purchases under the NCIB may be made through open market transactions on the TSX and any alternative Canadian trading platforms on which the common shares are traded, based on the prevailing market price, at such times and in such quantities as the corporation may determine, subject to applicable regulatory restrictions. Under TSX rules, not more than 141,689 common shares (being 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 566,756 common shares for the six months ended November, 2023) can be purchased on the TSX on any single trading day under the NCIB, except that one block purchase in excess of the daily maximum is permitted per calendar week. Any common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The NCIB period will commence on Dec. 14, 2023, and end on Dec. 13, 2024, or such earlier date as the NCIB is completed or is terminated at the corporation's election.

Transactions under the NCIB will depend on future market conditions. Secure retains discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements.

The NCIB effectively renews the corporation's previous NCIB, which was completed in September, 2023, upon the corporation acquiring the maximum number of common shares purchasable thereunder. In total, Secure repurchased and cancelled 22,055,749 common shares under the previous NCIB through market purchases on the TSX and alternative trading platforms at a weighted average price of $6.96 per share, representing approximately 7.1 per cent of the number of common shares outstanding at the time of commencement.

The NCIB provides the corporation with an additional capital allocation alternative to acquire common shares under the appropriate circumstances, with a view to long-term shareholder value. The board of directors and senior management believe that, from time to time, the prevailing market price of the common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of Secure's business and future business prospects. In such circumstances, the repurchase of common shares under the NCIB represents an attractive investment for the corporation and an opportunity to enhance shareholder value.
