DOF Group ASA – Closing of the acquisition of Maersk Supply Service and share capital increase

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, PUBLICATION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO OR FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS, ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA) (THE "UNITED STATES"), AUSTRALIA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OR JAPAN, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION, PUBLICATION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

DOF Group ASA - Cancellation of subsequent offering

Oslo, 7 October 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement from DOF Group ASA ("DOF" or the "Company") published on 3 July 2024 regarding the successful completion of a private placement raising NOK 1,064 million in gross proceeds at a price per share of NOK 99.00 (the “Private Placement”) and the contemplated subsequent offering of up to 2,014,943 shares at the same subscription price as in the Private Placement (the “Subsequent Offering”).

The Company’s shares have in recent months traded around or below the subscription price in the Private Placement at significant volumes. Following the announcement of the completion of the Private Placement, 31,835,698 of the Company's shares (i.e. more than 15 times the size of the Subsequent Offering) have traded at or below the Subscription Price on the Oslo Stock Exchange (the volume-weighted average price per share for this volume has been NOK 91.9121). Additionally, the closing price per share today (7 October 2024) on the Oslo Stock Exchange was NOK 93.50 (i.e. well below the Subscription Price).

Existing shareholders wishing to neutralize the dilutive effect of the Private Placement, have thus had the opportunity to purchase shares in the market at prices below the price which would have been the subscription price in the Subsequent Offering.

The Company’s board of directors has therefore resolved not to proceed with the Subsequent Offering. The board of directors have in this respect also taken into account that the proceeds from the Subsequent Offering will not be required to fund the contemplated acquisition of Maersk Supply Service A/S nor for general corporate purposes.

Following cancellation of the Subsequent Offering, the separate share issue directed towards Maersk Supply Service Holding ApS (“MSSH”) in connection with, and subject to completion of, the Subsequent Offering will also be cancelled.

The information was submitted for publication by Hilde Drønen, CFO, on 7 October 2024 at the time set out above.

Minutes from Ordinary general meeting

May 28, 2020

The impact of the COVID-19 virus and the sharp fall in the oil price have resulted in postponement and cancellation of several projects and tenders and disrupted the Group's operations and earnings going forward. Several clients have terminated contracts and initiated renegotiations in rates in existing contracts which again have caused pressure on earnings and utilisation of the Group's assets. Due to significant weaker markets the Group has recognised an impairment of NOK 1.5 billion (management reporting) in the first quarter. The Group has further faced a currency loss of NOK 2.9 billion (management reporting) due to the extreme weakening of the NOK and BRL. Based on these events the Group's result is negative of NOK -4.1 billion and the book value of the equity is now negative. The long-term refinancing of the Group has been postponed and a standstill agreement has been agreed (excl. Brazil and the JVs) until 30th June. Despite the events above the operational result for the Group has been good in first quarter: The average utilisation of the Group's fleet during the 1[st] quarter was 81% ; 78% for the subsea fleet, 75% for the AHTS fleet and 94% for the PSV fleet. The Group's operating income for 1[st] quarter (management reporting) totals NOK 2,064 million (NOK 1,633 million) and the operating profit before depreciation and impairment (EBITDA) totals NOK 804 million (NOK 541 million adjusted for hedge accounting with NOK 45 million). General market & operational comments: · Improved earnings and utilisation in all segments compared to Q1 2019 · Relatively tightened markets until the impacts from COVID-19 and the drop in oil price · By May the Group has 18 vessels in lay-up · The Group's current backlog is NOK 19 billion Please see enclosed 1[st] quarter Financial Report 2020 Webcast is available Wednesday, 27th of May 2020 at 08:30 on www.dof.com.

Laco AS has received a notice from Perestroika AS, whereby Perestroika AS pursuant to the shareholders agreement for Møgster Mohn Offshore AS ("MMO") has exercised its right to require that MMO is demerged. Pursuant to the shareholders agreement, the assets, rights and liabilities of MMO, including the shares in DOF ASA, shall be divided between the shareholders of MMO. Such distribution shall be made in accordance with the parties' relative shareholdings in MMO, provided however, that Laco AS has a right to acquire a portion of the DOF shares to be distributed to Perestroika AS which is required for Laco AS to retain an ownership of 40.45% of the shares and votes in DOF ASA. Such right must be exercised by Laco AS no later than 16 June 2020 and the price per share to be paid by Laco AS shall be equal to the closing price on 15 May 2020 (i.e. NOK 0.59 per share). Laco AS has not yet decided whether to exercise such option or not and it is thus not yet determined what the parties' ownership in DOF ASA will be following the demerger.

DOF ASA - DISCLOSURE OF LARGE SHAREHOLDING

May 18, 2020

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.
