DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS are pleased to announce that each of the companies
have entered into suspension agreements ("stand-still agreements") with, or
received similar concessions from, secured lenders representing 93 % of the
secured debt of companies within the DOF Group (the "Group") comprised by the
suspension agreements.
Pursuant to said agreements, payments of principal and interest to the secured
lenders, except for payments on the NOK 100 million credit facility provided to
DOF Subsea AS by certain of its lenders on 27 March 2020 to cover its immediate
liquidity needs, are suspended until 30 June 2020 on certain customary terms and
conditions. Such terms and conditions include customary restrictions on the
Group in the relevant period.
The agreements are entered into in order to facilitate the continued dialogue
with the secured lenders and bondholders under the Group's bond loans regarding
a long-term financial restructuring of the Group.
The suspension agreements comprise all companies within the Group, except for
Norskan AS and DOF Subsea Brasil Servicos Ltda. (the "Excluded Entities"). The
secured debt of Norskan Offshore Ltda. is subject to a separate negotiation.
As regards certain secured lenders (other than the secured lenders of the
Excluded Entities) who have not entered into the suspension agreements or
provided a similar concession, DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS have decided to impose
a unilateral stand still on the payment of principal and interest to such
secured lenders for as long as the suspension agreements remain in force.
Although no assurance can be given to this effect, DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS
have not received any indications that the secured lenders in question will
invoke the event of default-provisions in the relevant loan agreements as a
result of such decision.
