Source Energy Services Ltd. has repriced its proposed initial public offering (IPO), less than three weeks after its announcement to postpone its proposed $300 million IPO and secondary offering.

On March 21, Source Energy Services said it was postponing the IPO due to current adverse capital market conditions. It had intended to raise up to $300 million by way of a treasury offering of $275 million and a secondary offering of $25 million by selling shareholders at a price between $14 and $20 per share. Source Energy Services would had be valued at up to $902 million at $20 per share.

Source Energy Services has been a portfolio company of TriWest Capital Partner IV since October 2013. TriWest will own 16,677,346 shares or 30.81% on fully diluted basis.
