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 with a possibility to further extend the standstill arrangement currently in place to 30 June 2021 with the approval of the ad-hoc committee of bondholders.

However further discussions and negotiations will be required to determine whether an agreement for an overall restructuring of the DOF group can be found.
