DOF has been recognised in the Financial Times (FT) 2021 report as one of Europe's Climate Leaders. The report, which can be viewed here, was undertaken in co-operation with independent data company Statista and reviewed tens of thousands of companies, scrutinising existing GHG emissions in order to identify 'outstanding European companies that are successfully reducing their core GHG emissions relative to the their revenue'. 

As one of only 300 companies that secured a place in the Financial Times Europe's Climate Leaders 2021 report, this is important recognition on a number of levels. It clearly demonstrates DOF's 'leadership in reducing our GHG emissions intensity'.  It is also another step in achieving our strategic objectives in the Shaping DOF for the future: 2021 Strategy Plan to "uphold our position within the top-5 for environmental and social sustainability in our industry".

Reference is made to previous announcements regarding the extension of standstill arrangements with the DOF group's secured lenders expiring 30 June 2021 and extension of standstill arrangements with bondholders in DOF Subsea AS' bond issues also expiring 30 June 2021. DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS are pleased to announce that each of the companies have agreed to extend the principal and interest suspension agreements with 93.40% and 100.00% of the votes in DOFSUB07 DOFSUB08 and DOFSUB09 respectively. Approval of the proposal set out in the summons required 2/3 majority in all three bonds and the proposal was consequently approved. Please see the attached minutes from the bondholders' meetings. The extensions of the standstill periods will facilitate the DOF group's continued dialogue with its secured lenders and the bondholders under the DOF group's bonds regarding a long-term financial restructuring of the DOF group.
