Reference is made to the announcement made by DOF Subsea AS (the "Company") on 22 June 2022 and 21 October 2022 regarding the execution of an agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement") with a substantial group of financial creditors and certain other stakeholders of the DOF group (the "Group") on a comprehensive financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") DOF ASA (its bankruptcy estate) ceases to have any ownership in New DOF ASA (""New DOF"") or in any companies within the Group. As part of the Restructuring the financial creditors have converted approximately NOK 6 billion of debt into equity in New DOF. Following such conversion New DOF has a share capital of NOK 395 626 490 divided into 158 250 596 shares each with a nominal value of NOK 2.50. A new board of directors of New DOF consisting of Svein Harald Øygard (Chair) Harald Thorstein Christine J. Morris Daniela Ribeiro Davila and Harry Knox has also been elected. New DOF will apply for listing on Oslo Børs in the near future. The completion of the Restructuring creates a stable and viable platform for the restructured Group through (i) a substantial conversion of debt into equity (ii) reinstated debt terms supporting liquidity and providing significant maturity runway and (iii) the simplification of the Group’s financing structure. The Restructuring therefore leaves the Group well positioned to support its operations secure new contracts and continue to deliver on the Group’s strategy. CEO Mons Aase commented: “I am very pleased that we today can announce that the restructuring of the DOF Group is concluded. With approximately NOK 6 billion in reduced debt and much improved earnings the financial position of the DOF Group is strong. I would like to thank our customers and creditors for their support and loyalty through the long-lasting refinancing process. I would also like to thank all employees in the DOF Group for their dedication loyalty and hard work. Together with the entire DOF team we now look forward to continuing building DOF as a leading global player within both Offshore Floating Wind and Oil Services. "" As part of the completion of the Restructuring an extraordinary general meeting in the Company was held today. It was resolved to increase the Company's share capital by increasing the nominal value of each of the issued shares by NOK 1.5 from NOK 10 to NOK 11.5 in two separate share capital increases. Thereby the total increase of the Company's share capital was NOK 251 29 143 from NOK 1 673 527 620 to NOK 1 924 556 763. Both share capital increases were subscribed by the Company's parent company New DOF.

The share contribution in the abovementioned share capital increase in the Company was settled by way of set-off of this receivable. An amount of NOK 675 0 000 outstanding under the three existing bond issuances has been reinstated into one new bond issue with ISIN NO0012753666 on such terms and conditions as set out in a new bond agreement. A summary of the main terms and conditions are set out below: • Maturity date: The new bonds mature on 17 December 2027 and the Company and New DOF will have the option (subject to certain conditions) to settle the new bonds in cash or by the issue to the bondholders of ordinary shares in New DOF. • Interest: The new bonds will be deemed to have accrued interest from 30 June 2022 at a rate of the aggregate of NIBOR and 2% p.a. payable by issuance of additional bonds under the same ISIN.
