Brad Nichol, President & CEO of Edge commented, “Conventional bank debt has funded a significant amount of our early growth at an extremely low cost and has been an important tool to maximize the value we have been able to create for our shareholders. Utilizing existing relationships, we have ensured the team at National Bank is acutely aware of our needs and is happy to become a supportive part of our future.” Nichol added, “Given that low-cost conventional bank debt continues to be important to Edge–s development, we felt it was important to hedge some of our oil production to provide a level of additional security that a floor price provides.”
