EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8, Registration No. 333-196292 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”), is being filed pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by Civeo Corporation, a British Columbia, Canada limited company (“Civeo Canada”), as successor issuer to Civeo USA Corp., a Delaware corporation formerly named Civeo Corporation (“Civeo US”), following a merger (the “Merger”) that became effective on July 17, 2015. The Merger was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, between Civeo Canada, Civeo US and Civeo US Merger Co, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Civeo Canada (“US Merger Co”), dated as of April 6, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), under which US Merger Co merged with and into Civeo US, with Civeo US surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Civeo Canada. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued share of Civeo US common stock, other than those shares of Civeo US common stock held by Civeo US in treasury, was effectively transferred to Civeo Canada and converted into one common share of Civeo Canada. Through the Merger, the 2014 Equity Participation Plan of Civeo Corporation (the “Plan”) was assumed by Civeo Canada. Civeo Canada common shares will henceforth be issuable under the Plan in lieu of the Civeo US common stock. Civeo Canada hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-196292) filed by Civeo US with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as its own Registration Statement for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Section 160 of British Columbia’s Business Corporations Act (the “BCA”), Civeo Canada may indemnify an eligible party including but not limited to a director or officer of Civeo Canada, a former director or officer of Civeo Canada or another individual who acts or acted at Civeo Canada’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, against all judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of a proceeding in which a party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of such party having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation, to which the such party is or may be liable. Indemnification will be prohibited if (i) giving indemnity or paying expenses is or was prohibited in the memorandum or articles, (ii) if in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Civeo Canada or, (iii) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. The BCA also provides, under Section 162, that Civeo Canada may also advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding; however, the individual must agree in writing to undertake that if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by either conditions (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

 

  

Civeo Canada’s articles provide that Civeo Canada shall indemnify, and pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding of, a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at Civeo Canada’s requests as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity of another entity, and the heirs and person or other legal representatives of such a person so long as the individual signs the requisite undertaking, in accordance, and to the fullest extent and in all circumstances permitted by the BCA.

 

Civeo Canada has entered into and, in the future, will enter into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors in respect of any legal claims or actions initiated against them in their capacity as officers and directors of Civeo Canada or Civeo Canada’s subsidiaries in accordance with applicable law. These agreements include bearing the reasonable cost of legal representation in any legal or regulatory action in which they may become involved in their capacity as Civeo Canada’s officers and directors. Pursuant to such indemnities, Civeo Canada bears the cost of the representation of certain officers and directors.

 

Civeo Canada maintains insurance for certain liabilities incurred by its directors and officers in their capacity with Civeo Canada or its subsidiaries.

Item 9.

Undertakings

 

(a)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)

to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

 

(iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  

  

SIGNATURES

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Houston, Texas, on July 17, 2015.

Dear Sirs:

 

Re:	Civeo Corporation – Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement

 

We have acted as counsel to Civeo Corporation, a limited company governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Company"), in connection with the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Form S-8 Registration Statement filed (Registration No. 333-196292) by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 27, 2014, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the registration of common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") that may be delivered pursuant to the 2014 Equity Participation Plan of Civeo Corporation, as amended (the "Plan"), assumed by the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Civeo USA Corp., a Delaware corporation, formerly named Civeo Corporation ("Civeo US"), and Civeo US Merger Co, a Delaware corporation, dated as of April 6, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement").

 

We have examined a copy of the Plan, the Amendment, the Registration Statement, the Merger Agreement, resolutions adopted April 6, 2015 by the Board of Directors of Civeo US and resolutions adopted July 13, 2015 by the Board of Directors of the Company that authorized the Company to assume all outstanding awards granted under the Plan. We have additionally examined all such corporate and public records, statutes, regulations and other documents as we have deemed relevant and have considered such questions of law as we have considered relevant and necessary in order to give the opinion hereinafter set forth. We have additionally advised the Company in connection with the preparation of the Notice of Articles and Articles of the Company.

 

As to various questions of fact material to such opinion which were not independently established, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and officers of the Company. In reviewing all documents relevant to the opinions herein expressed, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity at all relevant times of all natural persons signing such documents, the veracity of the information contained therein, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic or original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, notarial, facsimile, or true copies or reproductions.

 

We are qualified to practice law in the Province of British Columbia and this opinion is rendered solely with respect to the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

 

Based upon and subject to the qualifications and assumptions herein expressed, we are of the opinion that upon (i) effectiveness of the Amendment, (ii) issuance of the Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and (iii) receipt by the Company of the consideration specified in the Plan for the Common Shares, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company.

 

The opinions expressed herein are given as at the date hereof and are based upon laws in effect and facts in existence as at the date hereof. The opinions expressed herein are given as at the date hereof, we express no opinion as to the effect of future laws or judicial or regulatory decisions on the subject matter hereof, and we specifically disclaim any obligation and make no undertaking to advise any person of any change in law or fact that may come to our attention after the date hereof.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Amendment. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 

Yours truly,

 

/s/ BENNETT JONES LLP
