DOF ASA ("DOF") and DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" and together with DOF and their
respective subsidiaries the "Group") will below provide an update on the effects
of the recent extreme currency fluctuations (including the liquidity impact),
the sharp decline in the oil price and COVID-19 and an update on the ongoing
refinancing process described in previous announcements by the Group.
Currency effects and liquidity impact
The negative development in the exchange rate for NOK has had a material
negative impact on key financial figures of the Group, related to both
equity/solidity and liquidity. Future currency developments will necessarily
impact on these figures, but it is likely that the equity of the Group as of 31
March 2020 will be materially adversely affected by this development.
The negative developments in the exchange rates for NOK have resulted in a
currency loss in excess of NOK 200 million. Although the currency fluctuations
have caused overdrafts on certain of the cash pool accounts comprised by DOF
Subsea's Group Account Agreement, DOF Subsea has with the support from its
lenders obtained a consent to the relevant limits being exceeded and is
therefore not in default under these arrangements.
Preliminary effects of COVID-19 and the decline in the oil price
The Group has been able to continue normal operations of its vessels even if
replacement of crew has become, and is expected to become, increasingly
difficult due to COVID-19. However, there is a general increased risk in the
sector of postponements of offshore projects as a result of COVID-19 and the
decline in the oil price, which also could involve the Group`s vessels and
assets even if the Group so far, naturally only to a limited extent, has been
impacted by these events. It should therefore be expected that both COVID-19 and
the oil price development will have an adverse negative effect on the Group.
The sudden and extreme currency fluctuations have resulted in liquidity
challenges for the Group. The Group is in a close and constructive dialogue with
its banks in order to discuss alternatives to solve the liquidity situation of
the Group in the short and medium term as a result of the recent developments.
The Group has with the support of its lenders on very short notice already been
granted a credit facility by certain of its lenders in the amount of NOK 100
million to cover its immediate liquidity needs. As part of these discussions,
the parties are also discussing a new and larger credit facility to cover the
Groups short term liquidity needs, required waivers from certain of the Group's
covenants as of 31 March 2020, including both the equity and liquidity
covenants, as well as deferrals of interest payments and amortizations. The
Group has thereby in consultation with its secured lenders initiated a process
to take the necessary steps to seek to secure the required liquidity for the
Group.
Due to the nature and extent of the recent developments, it is currently
necessarily too early to conclude on all of the implications of such
developments, including the Group's ability to successfully secure the required
solutions with the banks and other creditors.
Refinancing update
The Group has previously announced that it expected to obtain an agreement with
the banks for the refinancing (in the form of an agreed term sheet) by the end
of Q1 2020. Such agreement was one of the conditions for the previously
announced amendments to the bond loans approved by the bondholders of DOF
Subsea.
As a consequence of the sudden and significant uncertainties caused by the
recent developments, the ongoing refinancing of the Group will necessarily be
delayed. The Group has, however, established a constructive dialogue with its
secured lenders with the objective to facilitate a continued financing of the
Group and continue its dialogue with the banks and bondholders to secure a long
term financing solution, which also must be sufficiently robust after the recent
developments.
It is, however, currently too early to assess the length of the delay and the
implications of these events on the refinancing process.

As previously reported by DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" or the "Company"), DOF
Subsea is in dialogue with its banks, bondholders, and shareholders in order to
agree on a long-term financing solution for the Group, to be aligned with the
current market.
Bondholders approved amendments of the three bonds on 20 December 2019, subject
to certain adjustments to be formalised in follow-up Bondholders' meetings on 27
February 2020.
These adjustments, as outlined in the Summons Letter dated 12 February 2020,
were today approved by a necessary majority of Bondholders in all three bond
issues. The amendments to the three bond issues will be made effective when a
final agreement is reached with the banks, and subject to contribution of new
equity to DOF Subsea. Although no assurance can be given to this effect, the
Company believes that it will obtain agreement with all stakeholders by the end
of Q1 2020.
The Issuer has engaged ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Pareto Securities AS as its
financial advisors (the "Advisors") with respect to the amendments to the bond
issues.

Invitation to presentation of Q4 2019 results
February 17, 2020
On 20 December 2019, DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" or the "Company", and together
with its subsidiaries the "Group") announced that the proposal in the Summons to
Bondholders' Meetings dated 5 December 2019 (the "Original Proposal") was
approved by the necessary majority in all of the Company's three bond issues,
subject to certain changes to the Original Proposal that had been accepted by
the Company also being approved by the bondholders in each of DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08
and DOFSUB09.
The Company today summons bondholder meetings in the three bonds to approve
these changes (the "Proposal"), which include:
· For the DOFSUB07 bonds, a 5% PIK interest and a call option at 100% of the
nominal amount at any time (instead of the Original Proposal with no PIK
interest, but increasing call option prices). The DOFSUB07 bonds shall be
redeemed at 100% of the nominal amount at maturity, which is estimated to be on
or about 9 May 2024, being 9 days after the maturity of the bank debt (estimated
to be on or about 30 April 2024).
· For the DOFSUB08 bonds the maturity date will be extended to 382 days after
the DOFSUB07 bonds (estimated to be on or about 26 May 2025, compared to August
2024 in the Original Proposal).
· For the DOFSUB09 bonds the maturity date will be extended to 515 days after
the DOFSUB07 bonds (estimated to be on or about 6 October 2025, compared to
December 2024 in the Original Proposal).
· Laco AS has also agreed to convert its indirect holding of approx. NOK 60m
in nominal value of DOFSUB07 bonds into shares in DOF ASA, directly or
indirectly, and the Company has agreed to cancel its treasury bonds in all three
bond loans. It is expected that Laco AS, directly or indirectly, will contribute
such bonds to DOF ASA as a contribution in kind against issuance of new shares,
in order to facilitate such conversion. Financial covenants will be aligned
through "most favoured nations" clauses, and a negative pledge clause will be
included in DOFSUB07 as well. Further details of the changes are included in the
attached summons.
Other processes:
DOF Subsea is continuing to negotiate a long-term financing solution with its
secured lenders and expects to update the market shortly.
The refinancing will be conditional upon NOK 200 million being injected by DOF
ASA as new equity in DOF Subsea AS. Upon approval of the Proposal by bondholders
and approval by the banks of the term sheet for the refinancing, an equity issue
in the form of a rights offering with preferential rights for existing
shareholders will therefore be conducted in DOF ASA. Subject to satisfactory
refinancing terms, the largest indirect shareholder of DOF ASA, Laco AS, has
committed to, directly or indirectly, subscribe for NOK 200 million in such
rights offering.
The Company has engaged ABG Sundal Collier ASA and Pareto Securities AS as its
financial advisors with respect to the Proposal. Accordingly, Bondholders may
contact ABG Sundal Collier ASA at +47 22 01 61 66 or Pareto Securities AS Fixed
Income Sales at +47 22 87 87 70 for further information.
