STEP Energy Services' majority shareholder has made a non-binding offer to buy the rest of the provider of coiled tubing, fluid and nitrogen pumping, and hydraulic-fracturing solutions.

STEP on Thursday said energy-focused private-equity firm ARC Financial has proposed paying 5.50 Canadian dollars (US$3.96) apiece for shares of the Calgary, Alberta, company it doesn't already own, a 29% premium to Wednesday's closing price of C$4.26.

ARC currently owns or exercises control or direction of more than 55% of STEP's shares outstanding.

STEP said its board has formed a special committee of independent directors to review and consider the offer.
