DOF ASA AND DOF SUBSEA AS: EXTENSION OF STANDSTILL AGREEMENTS WITH SECURED LENDERS AND RESULT FROM BONDHOLDERS' MEETINGS
September 30, 2021
Reference is made to the resolutions adopted in the bondholders' meetings in DOF
Subsea AS' three bond loans (FRN DOF Subsea AS Senior Unsecured Bond Issue
2013/2020, DOF Subsea AS 9.50% Senior Unsecured Bond Issue 2017/2022 and FRN DOF
Subsea AS Senior Unsecured Bond Issue 2018/2023) on 30 June 2021, whereby the
bondholders on certain conditions approved to extend their waiver from, and
suspension of, all payment obligations under each of the bond loans until 31
August 2021, with a possibility to further extend the standstill arrangement
currently in place to 30 September 2021 with the approval of the ad-hoc
committee of bondholders.
Reference is further made to the announcement on 31 August 2021 regarding the ad
-hoc committee's approval of extension of the standstill arrangement with the
bondholders described above to 30 September 2021.
Discussions and negotiations on the restructuring of the DOF group (the "Group")
are progressing, and the Group, its secured lenders and the advisers to the
bondholders have since the bondholders' meetings in June 2021 continued
negotiations on an overall financial restructuring of the Group. Further
progress has been made in such negotiations, but there are still certain issues
that remain to be resolved to achieve an overall consensual restructuring of the
Group.
DOF Subsea AS has therefore requested Nordic Trustee AS to summon bondholders'
meetings in the three bond loans to consider the extension of the standstill
period initially until 31 October 2021 and with a possibility to extend the
standstill period on one or more occasions to 28 February 2022 with the approval
of an ad-hoc committee of bondholders. The proposal is further described in the
attached summons to the bondholders in the three bond loans. A request has also
been made to the Group's secured lenders to extend the suspension of payments of
principal and interest that have been granted by a majority of its secured
lenders.

Further to the notifications made by minority shareholders in DOF ASA (the
"Company", and together with its subsidiaries the "Group") and the press
coverage relating to such group of shareholders, DOF ASA would like to reiterate
the information previously provided by the Company, that a robust long-term
financing solution is required for the Group to maintain its status as a going
concern. In the meantime the Group is dependent on continued standstill
agreements with its creditors. Based on the financial situation of the Group,
such solution is expected to require conversion of debt to equity, which
consequently will significantly dilute the current holders of the equity.
There are no market developments or changes of the outlook of the Group
justifying another conclusion, and the shareholders are urged to take this into
account when considering alternatives.
The restructuring solutions being discussed with the secured creditors of the
Group do not involve any element of new equity in the form of cash and no
inequal treatment of the shareholders of the Company is currently contemplated.
As previously informed, the dialogue with the lenders is complex, but
constructive. A refinancing solution is not yet in place, and no assurance can
at this stage be given that the Company will be able to find a solution with its
creditors.
