CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2011) - OPTI Canada Inc. (News - Market indicators) ("OPTI" or the "Company") today announced that it has reached agreement with a committee of holders of the Company's 7.875 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2014 and 8.25 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (collectively, the "Secured Notes") on a restructuring of the Company's balance sheet, and investment of $375 million of new equity into the Company. Taken together, these transactions will materially improve the Company's total leverage and liquidity. Today, the Company commenced proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") to implement the restructuring. Holders of over 50 percent of the Secured Notes have executed Support Agreements (the "Supporting Noteholders") pursuant to which they have agreed to support and vote for the restructuring plan.

The restructuring provides for the conversion of all Secured Notes into common equity in the form of new common shares of OPTI. The new common share investment will be offered to all holders of Secured Notes ("Noteholders") via a rights offering. Certain of the Supporting Noteholders have committed to subscribe for any rights not exercised, acting as a backstop to the rights offering. As a condition of the restructuring, the Company's 9.0 percent First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2012 and 9.75 percent First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 are to be refinanced prior to closing. OPTI's trade payables and employee obligations will remain unaffected by the restructuring and will be paid or satisfied in the ordinary course by OPTI.

Holders of OPTI's existing common shares will be issued warrants to acquire new common shares of the Company and all of OPTI's existing common shares will be cancelled. The warrants in the aggregate give holders the right to purchase approximately 20 percent of the Company's post restructuring new common shares. The strike price of the warrants has been set at a price where the new common shares issued to Noteholders would, in aggregate, have a value approximately equivalent to the aggregate face value of the Secured Notes plus the accrued interest to August 31, 2011 plus the amount of the new equity investment. The shareholder warrants will expire seven years after the closing date of the restructuring.

Additional details regarding the restructuring are contained in the Recapitalization Term Sheet attached to this news release. Copies of the Support Agreement and Commitment Letter entered into with the Supporting Noteholders will be filed on SEDAR and available on OPTI's website. These agreements provide that OPTI's obligation to pursue and support the restructuring is subject to OPTI's right to accept a superior proposal in certain conditions.

"The restructuring and new equity commitment we have negotiated is indicative of the support of OPTI's Noteholders, who recognize the long term value in the Company's asset base. The recapitalization of our balance sheet will provide us with cash resources to continue to advance operations at Long Lake, as well as to begin development at Kinosis, with our operating partner, Nexen," said Chris Slubicki, President and Chief Executive Officer of OPTI.

OPTI intends to return to court within the next month to set a date for a Noteholder Meeting to occur in late September 2011 and aims to complete the restructuring not later than December 1, 2011. The plan will be subject to Noteholder, regulatory and court approval. Ernst & Young Inc. has been appointed as Monitor of OPTI. The Company is being advised by Lazard Freres & Co. LLC and Macleod Dixon LLP in connection with the restructuring. The Supporting Noteholders are being advised by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Bennett Jones LLP. More information about OPTI's restructuring process can be found at www.opticanada.com.

About OPTI

OPTI Canada Inc. is a Calgary, Alberta-based company focused on developing major oil sands projects in Canada. Our first project, the Long Lake Project, has a design capacity for 72,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), on a 100 percent basis, of SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage) oil production integrated with an upgrading facility. The Upgrader uses our proprietary OrCrudeTM process, combined with commercially available hydrocracking and gasification. Through gasification, this configuration substantially reduces the exposure to and the need to purchase natural gas. On a 100 percent basis, the Project is designed to produce up to 58,500 bbl/d of products, primarily 39 degree API Premium Sweet Crude (PSCTM). Due to its premium characteristics, we expect PSCTM to sell at a price similar to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. The Long Lake Project is a joint venture between OPTI and Nexen Inc. (Nexen). OPTI holds a 35 percent working interest in the joint venture. Nexen is the sole operator of the Project. OPTI's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol OPC.

Re: OPTI Canada Inc. ("OPTI"); 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the "7.875% Notes") and 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the "8.25% Notes") issued by OPTI (the 7.875% Notes and the 8.25% Notes are collectively referred to as the "Notes"); the holders of the 7.875% Notes and the 8.25% Notes (the "7.875% Noteholders" and the "8.25% Noteholders", respectively, and collectively the "Noteholders"); the trust indentures under which the Notes were issued by OPTI, as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof (collectively the "Indentures").

The purpose of this Term Sheet is to set out the principal terms of a proposed Recapitalization (as defined below) of OPTI. This Term Sheet does not create any obligations on the part of OPTI, any Noteholder or any other person, until such party has executed a support agreement attaching this Term Sheet and such support agreement has become effective and binding on such party in accordance with its terms. The plan value ("Plan Value") contemplated by this Term Sheet is US$1.725 billion.

This Term Sheet is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Recapitalization. Certain matters described herein may be subject to the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation.

A. RECAPITALIZATION

1. Recapitalization

OPTI shall be restructured in accordance with the following transactions (collectively, the "Recapitalization"), which are described in greater detail below and which shall be effected pursuant to a plan of compromise and arrangement (the "Plan") under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") to be sanctioned pursuant to a Court order (the "Sanction Order"):

Shares");

effective time of the Plan, including, without limitation, (i) all of

calls, subscriptions, exchangeable securities or other rights,
agreements, arrangements or commitments (pre-emptive, contingent or
otherwise) obligating OPTI to issue or sell shares in the capital of
OPTI or any securities or obligations of any kind convertible into or
exchangeable for such shares, other than the Shareholder Warrants (the
"Existing Equity");
iv. the issuance of 100 million New Common Shares by OPTI in consideration
for (A) the irrevocable exchange and transfer of the Notes and all of
the Noteholders' rights under the Notes and the Indentures (the New
Common Shares issued in exchange for the Notes being the "Exchange
Shares"); and (B) a new investment (the "New Investment") in the
aggregate amount of US$375 million (the "New Investment Proceeds") (the
New Common Shares issued pursuant to the New Investment being the "New
Investment Shares"), in each case to be allocated in accordance with
Section 2 below; and
v. except for the purpose of facilitating the distributions under the Plan,
the cancellation of the Indentures and the irrevocable extinguishment
and elimination of all of the Noteholders' entitlements with respect to
the Notes and the Indentures.

 


The implementation of the Plan shall be subject to and conditional upon all required Court, Noteholder and other approvals. The Noteholders shall form a single class of creditors for the purpose of voting on the Plan. The record date (the "Voting Record Date") for determining Noteholders entitled to vote at the meetings to approve the Plan shall be set by OPTI in consultation with the Requisite Majority of the Noteholder Support Group (as defined below).

OPTI shall work cooperatively with the legal and financial advisors to the Noteholder Support Group (as defined below), and use reasonable commercial efforts, in respect of matters provided for in this Term Sheet, to (a) file the Plan as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than August 5, 2011, (b) hold a Noteholder meeting under the CCAA as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than September 22, 2011, (c) obtain the Sanction Order as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than September 26, 2011, and (d) implement the Plan as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than December 1, 2011 (the date on which the Plan is implemented being the "Implementation Date").

The record date for the purpose of calculating the claims of all Noteholders shall be July 13, 2011 (the "Claims Record Date"). The aggregate amount of all Noteholders' claims for principal, excluding any accrued and unpaid interest, as of the Claims Record Date is referred to herein as the "Noteholders' Principal Claim Amount". The aggregate amount of all Noteholders' claims for principal and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the Implementation Date is referred to herein as the "Noteholders' Claim Amount". The "Distribution Record Date" shall be a date set by OPTI in consultation with the Requisite Majority of the Noteholder Support Group for the purposes of distributing the Exchange Shares in accordance with Section 2(i) below.

2. Allocation of New Common Shares

The total number of New Common Shares outstanding immediately following the effective time of the Plan shall be 100 million and shall be comprised of the Exchange Shares and the New Investment Shares.

The New Common Shares shall be allocated as follows:



i. the Exchange Shares shall be allocated pro rata to all Noteholders as of
the Distribution Record Date based on each Noteholder's respective share
of the Noteholders' Claim Amount; and
ii. the New Investment Shares shall be allocated as follows:
A. 95.2381% of the New Investment Shares shall be allocated pro rata to
the Electing Noteholders (as defined below) who participate in the
New Investment in accordance with the terms of the New Investment
and the Commitment (as defined below); and
B. 4.7619% of the New Investment Shares shall be allocated to the
Initial Backstop Parties (as defined below) pro rata in accordance
with the terms of the Commitment.

 


The total number of Exchange Shares shall be equal to the total number of New Common Shares less the total number of New Investment Shares. The total number of New Investment Shares shall be determined in accordance with Section 3 below. No fractional shares will be issued in respect of the New Common Shares. OPTI will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain TSX listing for the New Common Shares by or as soon as practicable after the Implementation Date, and if OPTI is unable to obtain a TSX listing for the New Common Shares, OPTI will use best efforts to obtain TSX Venture Exchange listing for the New Common Shares by or as soon as practicable after the Implementation Date.

3. Issuance of New Common Shares for New Investment

The Plan shall provide that an election form ("Election Form") shall be delivered to each Noteholder (including the Backstop Parties (as defined below)) as of the Voting Record Date pursuant to which each such Noteholder that is an "Accredited Investor" as defined under Section 501 of Regulation D of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and who is otherwise authorized to participate in the New Investment under applicable securities laws (each, an "Eligible Noteholder") shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to participate in the New Investment up to a maximum of such Noteholder's pro rata share of 70% of the New Investment, based on such Noteholder's share of the Noteholders' Principal Claim Amount (each Eligible Noteholder, whether a Backstop Party or not, that elects to participate in the New Investment by submitting an Election Form, an "Electing Noteholder"). The remaining 30% of the New Investment shall be subscribed for by the Backstop Parties, each of which shall be an "Accredited Investor" as defined under Section 501 of Regulation D of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall otherwise be authorized to participate in the New Investment under applicable securities laws. Prior to the Implementation Date, each Electing Noteholder shall deposit sufficient funds in escrow to subscribe for the New Investment Shares such Electing Noteholder has elected to purchase under the Election Form.

The number of New Investment Shares to be issued in respect of the New Investment shall be the quotient of the following calculation:

1.05 x New Investment Proceeds / Subscription Price

The subscription price per New Investment Share (the "Subscription Price") pursuant to the New Investment shall be the quotient of the following formula:



Plan Value x (1 - New Investment Discount) - New Secured Debt Amount - Cash
Backstop Fee - 56 million + New Investment Proceeds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 million

 


For the purposes of the formula above, "New Investment Discount" shall mean 0.20 provided that the Bloomberg Nymex Crude Oil 12 Month Strip Futures Price (Ticker: NRGSCL12), as quoted by Bloomberg (the "Strip Price"), is equal to or greater than US$90.00 for at least one of the three consecutive business days immediately prior to the Implementation Date. If, however, the Strip Price is less than US$90.00 for all three consecutive business days immediately prior to the Implementation Date, the New Investment Discount shall be determined as follows based on the highest Strip Price during the three consecutive business days immediately prior to the Implementation Date:



------------------------------------------------
Strip Price New Investment Discount
------------------------------------------------
US$80.00 - US$89.99 0.25
------------------------------------------------
US$70.00 - US$79.99 0.30
------------------------------------------------
US$60.00 - US$69.99 0.35
------------------------------------------------
US$ 0.00 - US$59.99 0.40
------------------------------------------------

The 9% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2012 and the 9.750% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 shall be paid in full with the proceeds from the issuance of new secured debt to be issued by OPTI, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Requisite Majority of the Noteholder Support Group (the amount of such new secured debt being referred to as the "New Secured Debt"). The New Secured Debt shall be in an amount not less than US1.1 billion (the "New Secured Debt Amount").
