All financial figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated

Gibson Energy Inc. ("Gibson" or the "Company") (TSX:GEI) announced today the amendment of its $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") to, among other things, release all security required under the Revolver by its lenders. The Revolver's maturity date has also been extended from June 2018 to August 2019.

"We believe this amendment reflects the strength of Gibson's balance sheet and is a positive step toward our goal of achieving an investment grade credit rating," said Donald Fowlis, Gibson's Chief Financial Officer. "At present, our Revolver continues to be undrawn, other than letters of credit issued, and we believe we have adequate liquidity to fund our recently increased 2014 and 2015 capital spending plans. Additionally, the removal of security enhances our ability to access additional financial markets in the future."
