INFOR Financial

INFOR Financial is pleased to have acted as the Sole Lead Arranger to Source Energy Services (“Source” or the “Company”) on its recently announced US$135 million term loan with Silver Point Finance (“Silver Point”). The proceeds of the term loan will be used to redeem the Company’s outstanding Senior Secured Notes due March 2025 and repay outstanding amounts drawn on the Company’s ABL facility.   INFOR Financial introduced Source to Silver Point and worked closely with the Company to negotiate and creatively structure a transaction that would strengthen Source’s balance sheet and enhance its liquidity, further positioning the Company to execute on its long-term growth strategies, while continuing to de-lever the business.   Congratulations to all parties involved, we look forward to what lies ahead for Source and its new credit partner, Silver Point.

In our most recent episode of SNS we speak with Troy Boisjoli CEO of Atha Energy Corp. ATHA Energy Corp is an emerging Canadian uranium exploration company with premier assets in the Athabasca Basin, Thelon Basin and Central Mineral Belt. ATHA Energy owns the Angilak Project in Nunavut which hosts over 43 million pounds U3O8, the Central Mineral Belt Discoveries in Newfoundland and Labrador which contain another 14.5 million pounds U3O8, and Gemini, a recent high-grade, near surface discovery in the Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan. ATHA also owns 4.8 million acres of exploration land in the Athabasca Basin and another 3.3 million acres of land in the Thelon Basin which is a proven, underexplored uranium jurisdiction with potential for large, high-grade uranium discoveries. ATHA also recently reported strong assay results from their 25-hole, ~10,000 metre 2024 Angilak Exploration Program. This year will once again be the hottest on record as greenhouse gas emissions continue to soar and while we are 8 years removed from the Paris Agreement, we are still no closer to a climate solution. In addition, based on the IEA’s World Energy Outlook, electricity demand could potentially increase by about 50% by 2040. Therefore, the only way to achieve these climate goals is with the use of nuclear energy. While the use of nuclear power has been on the decline since the mid-1990s, nations like the UK, France and Japan are leading a nuclear renaissance. Troy and I discuss the nuclear industry as a whole, the energy efficiency of uranium, how a nuclear reaction works, the relative infrequency of nuclear accidents versus other sources of renewable energy, uranium supply and demand, and the impact of growing power demands driven by AI and data centres. Please enjoy. #uranium #nuclearpower #renewableenergy #mining #climate https://lnkd.in/e4nM2cYp

One of the more underappreciated roles that financial advisors play in M&A transactions is the provision of either fairness opinions or formal valuations.   The quality of work investment banks put into such reports varies widely. Encouragingly, courts and regulators are increasingly holding advisors to higher standards of disclosure. At INFOR Financial, we welcome this trend.   We are grateful that boards and management teams consistently seek out our expertise in the provision of such opinions and valuations. It represents a strong vote of confidence in our team’s professionalism and expertise. As Canada‘s leading independent advisory investment bank, we strive to ensure our uncompromising and rigorous analysis is second to none. In an era where the integrity of financial advice is under heightened scrutiny, our ability to provide non-conflicted advice is more important than ever, ensuring that our clients receive unbiased and transparent guidance.
