DOF Group ASA - Disclosure of large shareholding

October 17, 2024

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. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

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.

This information is considered to be inside information pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and is subject to the disclosure requirements according to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication by Hilde Drønen, CFO, on 7 October 2024 at the time set out above.

News

The Group's revenue for 2nd quarter (management reporting) totals USD 361 million (USD 330 million) and EBITDA totals USD 122 million (USD 121 million). The operating profit (EBIT) is USD 111 million (USD 128 million). Net financial costs amount to USD -91 million (USD -4 million) including unrealised currency loss of USD -62 million (USD 8 million). The result after taxes is USD 6 million (USD 103 million). The Group's net interest-bearing debt is USD 1,286 million (USD 1,444 million). The equity is USD 1,045 million (USD 725 million) giving an equity ratio of 35% (26%).

Key highlights in 2nd quarter:

- The Group has on 2[nd] of July signed an agreement to acquire all the shares in Maersk Supply Service A/S from Maersk Supply Service Holding A/S ("MSSH"). The acquisition will be settled partly in cash representing USD 577 million and partly in shares representing 25% ownership for MSSH.

- As part of the transaction the Company completed a private placement of in total USD 75 million in July.

- The Group achieved an EBITDA of USD 122 million (USD 121 million).

- The net profit of USD 6 million (USD 100 million) has been impacted by an unrealised currency loss of USD -62 million (USD 8 million). This is a non-cash accounting effect primarily due to consolidation of the BRL accounts in Norskan affected by a weaker BRL to USD in the quarter.

- The Group's cash flow from operating activities was USD 119 million (USD 75 million) in the quarter.

- The equity ratio has improved from 26% to 35%. The Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) has been reduced from USD 1,444 million to USD 1,286 million and the NIBD/LTM EBITDA by end June is 2.7x (3.3x).

- The average utilisation of the fleet was 89% (88%) in the quarter.

- The performance has been good in the APAC and the Atlantic regions, but lower in Brazil due to class dockings, planned maintenance and mobilisation to new contracts in the quarter.

- The total current fleet consists of 57 vessels (incl. 14 vessels on management or hired in):

-- 16 AHTSs, 10 PSVs and 31 Subsea vessels.

- The order intake in 2[nd] quarter was USD 1.05 billion.

- Firm backlog by end June is USD 2.6 billion (USD 1.9 billion). Order intake after balance date is approximately USD 400 million.

- Updated EBITDA guidance for the year is USD 500-520 million.

Note: all number above are based on management reporting

Statement from the CEO, Mons Aase: "The MSS transaction marks a strategic milestone for the Group and under the DOF brand we will create a leading offshore services provider and strengthen our global position through the combined company. With the world's largest fleet of CSVs and high-end AHTS vessels, we will enhance the customer experience through increased scale, global reach, and industry-leading services, combining the strong capabilities and experience of DOF and Maersk Supply Service. I look forward to further developing the DOF Group together with my new and existing colleagues, ensuring the continued delivery of world-class services to our customers and further appreciate A.P. Møller Holding becoming a major shareholder.

The order intake has been high so far this year which gives good visibility on earnings in the next 24 months. We expect improved earnings in second half compared to first half due to i.a. Skandi Buzios being back on hire, Skandi Amazonas commencing a new 3-year contract after being partly off-hire, higher project activity in several regions, and certain one-off effects which impacted first half earnings. The updated EBITDA guiding is USD 500-520 million.

Please see enclosed 2nd quarter Financial Report 2024.

A webcast, followed by a Q&A session, will be available Wednesday, 21st of August at 14:00 CEST on www.dof.com/webcast.

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.
