On December 20, 2006 Enerflex Systems Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Enerflex Systems Income Fund, completed a debt restructuring process that replaced its existing debt agreements. RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities acted as agents for Enerflex in connection with the issuance of $100.6 million senior secured notes via private placement to investors in Canada and the United States. Concurrently, a syndicate of lenders led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as administrative agent, completed a $150 million three-year revolving bank credit facility. These combined facilities provide Enerflex the financial flexibility to continue with its existing growth strategy.
The $21 million senior secured notes are due on December 20, 2013 and $79.6 million on December 20, 2016. The bank credit facility is due on June 30, 2009 and may be renewed annually at the option of the lenders. Interest is based on a floating rate at the generally available banker acceptance rate plus an applicable margin.
Enerflex is a leading Canadian supplier of products and services to the global oil and gas production industry.

In the Netherlands, Enerflex was represented by W.Th.A. Schermer of Van Benthem & Keulen, in Australia by Jason Sprague of Champion Legal and in the US by a team led by Robert Gray of Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP.
John Wilmot and Nancy Smith of Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP represented the lenders, which included the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, HSBC and the Toronto Dominion Bank.
