Calgary, Canada – April 9, 2014 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (“High Arctic” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a new Drilling Services Agreement with InterOil Corporation for one heli-portable drilling rig in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”). High Arctic has agreed to provide one drilling rig and a 100 person camp for a firm contract term of two years with an extension option available to InterOil for one additional year. The two year term commences once the rig has been mobilised and is ready to commence drilling operations. The contract is projected to deliver annualized revenue of approximately US$30 million during the drilling operations. The target spud date for the first well is November 2014. In conjunction with the award of this contract, High Arctic has agreed to purchase two heli-portable drilling rigs and associated ancillary equipment. The total commitment to purchase and deliver the two rigs with upgrades is estimated at US$52 million. The matching rigs are AC self-erecting 1500 HP triple drilling rigs designed and manufactured as heli-portable. The rigs can be broken down into 2700kg loads allowing maximum transportation versatility and flexible alternatives in helicopter selection. Constructed in 2010, the rigs feature the latest safety designs and drilling automation technology, and have each had approximately one year of use. Kevin Doran, High Arctic’s President, International, stated; “The acquisition of these two drilling rigs is a significant milestone for High Arctic and reflects our continued commitment to expanding our presence within Papua New Guinea. We are excited to be working with InterOil as they move towards commercializing their resources. The second rig should position us to take advantage of the growing activity in the country.” The rig purchase is subject to customary closing conditions and closing is expected to occur by mid-May. The rigs are currently being prepared to be shipped to PNG with an expected landing date in June. The first rig will then be commissioned and upgraded at a customer supplied yard near Port Moresby. The first rig is expected to be mobilised to the field in November at which time revenue streams will commence. The second rig will then be commissioned and is expected to be available for use in early 2015. The Company will market the second rig to both existing and potential new customers in PNG. The Company plans to acquire the rigs using existing cash on hand and available capacity on its current revolving loan facility.

Calgary, Canada – March 27, 2014– High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (“High Arctic” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the “By-law”), which requires advance notice to the Corporation in circumstances where nominations of persons for election as a director of the Corporation are made by shareholders other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “ABCA”); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the ABCA. Among other things, the By-law fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit a notice of director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual general or special meeting of shareholders where directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid. Shareholders will be asked to confirm and ratify the By-law at the Corporation’s Annual General and Special Meeting on May 13, 2014 (the “Meeting”). A copy of the By-law has been filed and is available under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com. The By-Law is effective immediately and will remain in effect until they are confirmed, confirmed as amended or rejected by shareholders at the Meeting. The Corporation believes that adopting the By-law is considered to be good corporate governance as it provides a clear and transparent process for all shareholders to follow if they intend to nominate directors and it ensures that all shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations with sufficient information with respect to all nominees. This allows the Corporation and its shareholders to evaluate the proposed nominees’ qualifications and suitability as directors, which further allows shareholders to cast an informed vote for the election of directors.
