DOF Group ASA - Sale of vessels

Select a category.

No articles found.

Reference is made to DOF ASA's (the "Company" or "DOF" and together with its subsidiaries the "Group") previous announcements on 22 June 2022 and 13 October 2022 regarding the financial restructuring process DOF is in the current situation obliged to procure that the Reconstruction proceedings are opened. This is further substantiated by a letter from the creditors requesting Reconstruction to be opened promptly. The Board has also been in dialogue with the appointed advisor of the minority shareholders in order to provide the requested documentation. The Board has not received information which indicates that the minority shareholders have any viable alternative solution to the Restructuring. In preparation of the Reconstruction and in order to secure the continued operations in the rest of the Group irrespective of the outcome of the Restructuring in the Company the Company has transferred the majority of its business assets and contractual liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary DOF Services AS. The employees of the Company have in accordance with the Restructuring Agreement been transferred to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary DOF AS together with related third-party agreements necessary to operate the Group. The Group's operations are therefore expected to continue as normal both throughout the Reconstruction process and in the event of a subsequent bankruptcy in the Company. As previously communicated creditors and contract parties other than the financial creditors party to the Restructuring will not be affected by the Restructuring. In light of continuous speculations among the minority shareholders of DOF questioning the principle of equal treatment of all the shareholders of the Company and despite previous announcements confirming the same the Company see once more the need to reiterate that the Restructuring proposal that was presented to the EGM provided for equal treatment of all the shareholders of the Company. The main shareholder in DOF has also confirmed that there is no agreement or arrangement regarding preferential treatment of the main shareholder compared to other shareholders irrespective of how the Restructuring is implemented. For further information please contact: Chairman of the Board Hans Olav Lindal tel. + 47 958 39 562 This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

DOF ASA: Petition for Reconstruction

December 2, 2022

Det vises til DOF ASAs ("Selskapet" eller "DOF" har de finansielle kreditorene til Gruppen gjort det klart at (i) det ikke er rom for aksjonærene til å forhandle om en gunstigere løsning enn forslaget som ble presentert for generalforsamlingen den 11. november 2022 der aksjonærene ble tilbudt 4% av aksjekapitalen etter Restruktureringen og (ii) aksjonærene ikke vil bli tilbudt mer enn 1% av aksjekapitalen etter Restruktureringen som en del av Rekonstruksjonen med mindre noe annet aksepteres av de finansielle kreditorene. Etter styrets vurdering foreligger det ingen annen løsning som sikrer videre drift i Gruppen enn den avtalte Restruktureringen. Det er videre gjort klart av Gruppens finansielle kreditorer at gjennomføring av Restruktureringen skal skje i henhold til Restruktureringsavtalen. Etter Restruktureringsavtalen er DOF i den nåværende situasjonen forpliktet til å sørge for at rekonstruksjonsforhandlinger åpnes. Dette underbygges ytterligere av et brev fra kreditorene hvor det kreves at Rekonstruksjonen åpnes omgående. Styret har også vært i dialog med oppnevnt rådgiver for minoritetsaksjonærene for å fremskaffe ønsket dokumentasjon. Styret har ikke mottatt informasjon som tilsier at minoritetsaksjonærene har noen reell alternativ løsning til Restruktureringen. Som forberedelse til Rekonstruksjonen og for å sikre videre drift i resten av Gruppen uavhengig av utfallet av Rekonstruksjonen har Selskapet overført majoriteten av sin virksomhet eiendeler og kontraktsmessige forpliktelser til sitt heleide datterselskap DOF Services AS. De ansatte i Selskapet har i henhold til Restruktureringsavtalen blitt overført til Selskapets heleide datterselskap DOF AS sammen med tilhørende tredjepartsavtaler som er nødvendige for å drive konsernet. Gruppens virksomhet forventes derfor å fortsette som normalt både gjennom hele rekonstruksjonsprosessen og ved en eventuell påfølgende konkurs i Selskapet. Som tidligere kommunisert vil ikke kreditorer og kontraktsparter utover de finansielle kreditorene som er part i Restruktureringen bli påvirket av Restruktureringen. I lys av de kontinuerlige spekulasjonene blant minoritetsaksjonærene i DOF som stiller spørsmål ved prinsippet om likebehandling av alle Selskapets aksjonærer og til tross for tidligere meldinger som bekrefter det samme ser Selskapet nok en gang et behov for å gjenta at forslaget om Restrukturering som ble presentert for Generalforsamlingen sørget for likebehandling av alle aksjonærene i Selskapet. Hovedaksjonæren i DOF har også bekreftet at det ikke er noen avtale eller ordning om særbehandling av hovedaksjonæren sammenlignet med øvrige aksjonærer uavhengig av hvordan Restruktureringen gjennomføres.

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.
