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

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.
