(&#8220;NAEP&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (TSX/NYSE: NOA) today announced that it intends to make purchases in the normal course in the United States, primarily through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, of up to 1,800,000 voting common shares (the &#8220;Purchase Program&#8221;).&#160;&#160;Such voting common shares represent approximately 5% of the 36,322,126 issued and outstanding voting common shares as of September 30, 2013.</font></div>

We now think that it is appropriate to use monetized working capital from the divestments to purchase our shares. While near horizon demand for our services in the oil sands market remains challenging, we believe that our medium to long term prospects, together with the contingent cash proceeds from the sale of our piling business, are not fully reflected in our stock price. If this remains the case, we are confident that the purchase of our shares would be in the best long term interest of our shareholders.&#8221;</font></div>

The Plan will be established to provide standard instructions regarding how the Company&#8217;s voting common shares are to be purchased under the program, subject to pre-established parameters. Concurrent with the establishment of the Plan, the Company will confirm to the broker that it is then not aware of any material undisclosed or non-public information with respect to the Company or any securities of the Company. During the term of the Plan, the Company will not communicate any material undisclosed or non-public information to the trading staff of the broker; accordingly, the broker may make purchases regardless of whether a trading blackout period is in effect or whether there is material undisclosed or non-public information about the Company at the time that purchases are made under the Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, provided that the Company is neither in possession of material undisclosed or non-public information relating to the Company nor in a trading blackout period, the Company will have the ability to authorize the broker to make purchases outside of the pre-established price limits. In the event that the Plan is materially varied, suspended or terminated, the Company will issue a press release advising of such variation, suspension or termination, as applicable. Shares purchased pursuant to the Purchase Program will be cancelled.</font></div>

For a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA to net income, please see our disclosure documents, including our most recent management&#8217;s discussion and analysis, filed with the securities regulatory authorities.</font></div>
