As previously reported by DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" or the "Company"), DOF Subsea has approached banks, bondholders, and shareholders in a process to negotiate a long-term financing solution aligned with the current market. The proposal as outlined in the Summons to Bondholders' Meetings dated 5 December 2019 (the "Proposal") was approved by a necessary majority of Bondholders in all three bond issues, after the Company undertook not to implement the Proposal until certain changes which have been accepted by the Company have been approved by the bondholders in each of DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09. These changes, once approved, will update and supersede the Proposal. The deferral of the NOK 100 million scheduled instalment that was due under DOFSUB07 today has become effective in accordance with the terms of the Summons. For the DOFSUB07 bond, the changes include a 5% PIK Interest and a call option at 100% of the nominal amount at any time (vs the Proposal with increasing call option prices). The DOFSUB07 bond shall be redeemed at 100% at maturity. For the DOFSUB08 bond the maturity date will be extended to January 2025 (vs August 2024 in the Proposal) and for the DOFSUB09 bond the maturity date will be extended to May 2025 (vs. December 2024 in the Proposal). Laco AS has also agreed to convert its indirect holding (through Møgster Mohn Offshore AS) of approx. NOK 60m in nominal value of DOFSUB 07 bonds into shares in DOF ASA, and the Company has agreed to cancel its treasury bonds. Further details of the changes are included in the attached schedule. These changes will be implemented through new bondholder meetings in DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09. The Ad-Hoc group of bondholders in DOFSUB07 and major holders of DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09 bonds have given their pre-approval to these changes, which will be formalized through follow-up bondholder meetings in January 2020. The Company 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.

Financial calendar for DOF ASA FINANCIAL YEAR 2019 21.02.2020 - Quarterly Report - Q4 FINANCIAL YEAR 2020 21.08.2020 - Half-yearly Report 06.04.2020 - Annual Report 28.05.2020 - Annual General Meeting 15.05.2020 - Quarterly Report - Q1 12.11.2020 - Quarterly Report - Q3 25.02.2021 - Quarterly Report - Q4 This information is published pursuant to the requirements set out in the Continuing obligations.

As previously announced, the DOF Group is negotiating with its banks and bondholders with a view to finding sustainable long-term financing structure that is aligned with the current market environment. The negotiations have been constructive, and good progress has been made. On Friday 20 December, the bondholders in each of DOFSUB07, DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09 bond loans resolved to continue and extend the engagements on certain terms and conditions which are deemed beneficial by the bondholders, DOF Subsea AS and DOF ASA. Reference is made to a separate Press Release sent out on 20 December. The final approval of the terms now agreed will be given in a bondholders' meeting to be held medio January, 2020. Banks involved in the DOF Subsea AS refinancing process are showing good will to contribute to achieving a positive result. The refinancing proposal includes adjustments to the current amortization profile among others.  The negotiations are still ongoing and a few of the banks, representing less than 10% of the outstanding loan balances, show reluctance, but will hopefully agree to a continued beneficial participation. DOF ASA is engaged in constructive dialogue with the banks in the DOF Rederi AS fleet facility, and together with DOF Subsea AS with major financing institutions in Brazil, in order to discuss adjustments to the current amortization profile, and thereby align, strengthen and support the financial operations throughout the DOF Group structure. The Board of Directors and the management believe that a solution is obtainable early 1[st] quarter., however no assurance can be given the DOF Group will be successful in this respect. All of the DOF group of companies will in the meantime relentlessly carry on their business without change. The market will be kept updated on further progress.

Following the recent conversions of the subordinated convertible bond loan of DOF ASA to new shares in DOF ASA announced by DOF ASA on 20 December 2019, the ownership percentage of Møgster Mohn Offshore AS ("MMO") in DOF ASA has been diluted from 50.06% to 48.95%. The number of shares owned by MMO remains the same (150,638,643 shares) and the downwards passing of the threshold for notification of large shareholdings is hence a result of the mentioned conversions of bonds to equity. MMO has no rights to shares. MMO is majority owned by Laco AS, which is a related party to Helge Møgster, Chairman of DOF ASA and to Board Member Marianne Møgster. The above information is mandatory according to the Securities Trading Act section 4-3.

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.

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.
