Enerplus Corporation (NYSE: ERF) is pleased to announce that we have priced a proposed offering of senior unsecured notes to be issued on a private placement basis in the United States and Canada (the "Private Placement") with an aggregate principal amount of approximately US$405 million.

The notes to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement are scheduled to be issued in three separate tranches as follows:

• US$355 million at 4.40% with a 12 year amortizing term with principal payments required in five equal annual instalments beginning in 2020;
  
  
• US$20 million at 4.40% with a 10 year bullet term;
