For more details on the potential tax consequences of the SDP, please refer to the Management Information Circular, filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and also available on CESTC's website at www.canadianenergyservices.com .
Shareholders wishing to participate in the SDP should contact their brokers or intermediary or, in the case of registered shareholders, contact the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada at 1-800-564-6253 or at www.investorcentre.com . The necessary enrolment form for registered shareholders will also be available on CESTC's website.
