Such terms and conditions include customary restrictions on the DOF group (the ""Group"") in the relevant period and customary termination rights for the secured lenders. The current stand-still from BNDES to Norskan Offshore Ltda. will expire on 31 December 2020 and the continuation of the extended stand-still with the other secured lenders to 31 January 2021 will then either require a continued stand-still from BNDES from 31 December 2020 to 31 January 2021 or acceptance to servicing of the debt to BNDES by the other secured lenders. The MNOK 100 Credit Facility referred to above which originally expired on 30 June 2020 has also been extended. The extensions of the stand-still periods are entered into in order to facilitate the continued constructive dialogue with the secured lenders and bondholders under the Group's bond loans regarding a long-term financial restructuring of the Group. The suspension agreements comprise all companies within the Group except for DOF Subsea Brasil Servicos Ltda. As regards the secured lenders (other than the secured lenders of DOF Subsea Brasil Servicos Ltda.) who have not entered into the suspension agreements or provided a similar concession DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS will continue to impose an unilateral stand still on the payment of principal and interest to such secured lenders for as long as the suspension agreements remain in force. Such unilateral stand still is required to comply with the terms of the suspension agreements.

Oppdatering - forslag om styreendring

April 24, 2020

Helge Møgster has announced that he will be resigning from the Board of Directors in DOF ASA following the upcoming ordinary General Meeting, after 18 years in the role as chairman. He will also resign as chairman in DOF Subsea AS. It will be proposed to the general meeting of both DOF ASA and DOF Subsea AS that Hans Olav Lindal replaces Helge Møgster as chairman of the two companies. The Group will be facing a very challenging period going forward, with extensive and comprehensive processes related to the refinancing of the Group. This will be demanding for the Board of Directors and the management, and will involve other and extensive requirements. Lindal has extensive experience and competence corresponding well to these challenges, and it is considered to be in the best interests of the company and shareholders that he will be leading the Board of Directors through this phase. Møgster will still be heavily engaged in the company, and will focus his efforts on his ownership role. For further information please contact: Mons S. Aase, CEO, Tel: +47 91 66 10 12 Hilde Drønen, CFO, Tel: + 47 91 66 10 09 With a multi-national workforce of about 3,500 personnel, DOF ASA is an international group of companies which owns and operates a fleet of modern offshore/subsea vessels, and engineering capacity to service both the offshore and subsea market. With over 35 years in the offshore business, the group has a strong position in terms of experience, innovation, product range, technology and capacity. DOF's core businesses are vessel ownership, vessel management, project management, engineering, vessel operations, survey, remote intervention and diving operations primarily for the oil and gas sector. From PSV charter to Subsea engineering, DOF offers a full spectrum of top quality offshore services to facilitate an ever-growing and demanding industry. The company's main operation centers and business units are located in Norway, the UK, the USA, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, Angola, and Australia. DOF ASA is listed on the Oslo Exchange since 1997.

Approval of the Annual Accounts 2019 and proposed changes to the Board

April 24, 2020

Result from bondholders' meetings Reference is made to the summons to bondholders' meetings in DOFSUB07 (ISIN NO 001 0670144), DOFSUB08 (ISIN NO 001 078817.7) and DOFSUB09 (ISIN NO 001 083681.0) issued dated 3 April 2020 and the addendum to the summons issued 21 April 2021. The bondholders' meetings were held today, and the proposed resolution received 99.06%, 98.40% and 100% 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 and this pre-condition for a continued constructive dialogue between the DOF Group and its secured lenders and bondholders is then satisfied. Please see the attached minutes from bondholders' meetings. Update on tender activities There has been a sharp decline in the tender activities, with few new contract opportunities and less projects to bid for. Due to the sharp decline in the oil price, the oil companies have reduced their exploration activity substantially and some have also started to reduce existing production. It must be expected that the Group will continue to experience adverse consequences of the sharp decline in the oil price, and the responses of the oil companies to such decline. Several of the Group's vessels will finish their firm contract periods during 2020, and if the challenging market continues most of these vessels could move into lay-up. On the positive side, DOF is pleased to announce that Equinor Energy has awarded Skandi Vega a new contract. The vessel is owned by DOF Rederi. The duration of the contract is 6 months firm, with up to 6 months option. Equinor has an option to change the contract to a 2 or 3 year firm period within the next 4 months. Skandi Vega has been on contract to Equinor since the delivery in 2010. The new award is another sign of the quality provided by the crew and vessel. Due to the developments after the announcement of the financial report of the Group for the 4th quarter 2019, the expectations regarding EBITDA for 2020 expressed therein will no longer apply. It is currently too early to express any view on the expected EBITDA for 2020 in light of the changed environment. For further information, please contact: CEO Mons Aase, tel. +47 91 66 10 12 CFO DOF Hilde Drønen tel. +47 91 66 10 09 With a multi-national workforce of about 3,500 personnel, DOF ASA is an international group of companies which owns and operates a fleet of modern offshore/subsea vessels, and engineering capacity to service both the offshore and subsea market.

DOF ASA AND DOF SUBSEA AS: RESULT FROM BONDHOLDERS' MEETINGS AND UPDATE ON TENDER ACTIVITIES

April 22, 2020

Historical OSE Notices

ADDENDUM TO BONDHOLDERS' SUMMONS

April 21, 2020

DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries the "Group") has earlier requested and obtained approval for a new bond debt structure, as part of a comprehensive refinancing (proposals 5 December 2019, and revised proposal on 12 February 2020, together the "Original Refinancing Proposal"). These approvals were conditional upon, amongst others, approvals from secured lenders and the completion of a NOK 200 million equity raise within 30 April 2020. As described in the press release on 27 March 2020 (available on http://www.newsweb.oslobors.no/message/499850), the Company has, after the bondholder approvals were obtained, been faced with significant negative market developments not foreseen when the Original Refinancing Proposal was put forward, including the effect of COVID-19, the sharp decline in oil prices, and extreme currency fluctuations, which also have had a direct negative impact on the Company's liquidity. As a consequence of the sudden and significant uncertainties caused by these recent developments, the ongoing refinancing of the Group will necessarily be delayed and the Group has announced that it will continue its dialogue with the banks and bondholders to secure a long term financing solution, which also must be sufficiently robust after the recent developments. In order to facilitate such continued dialogue, the Company today summons bondholder meetings in the three bonds to approve a stand-still as further set out in the attached summons (the "Proposal"). During the first part of this period, the Company will seek to stabilize the situation (together with its major lenders), and then reopen the dialogue with all stakeholders, including secured lenders and bondholders. 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. For further information, please contact: CEO Mons Aase, tel. +47 91 66 10 12 CFO Hilde Drønen, tel. +47 91 66 10 09 IMPORTANT INFORMATION This communication may not be published, distributed or transmitted in the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan.

COMPANY UPDATE, REQUEST FOR STAND-STILL AND SUMMONS TO BONDHOLDERS' MEETINGS IN DOF SUBSEA AS

April 3, 2020

Historical OSE Notices

Financial calendar

April 2, 2020

DOF ASA ("DOF") and DOF Subsea AS ("DOF Subsea" and together with DOF and their respective subsidiaries the "Group") will below provide an update on the effects of the recent extreme currency fluctuations (including the liquidity impact), the sharp decline in the oil price and COVID-19 and an update on the ongoing refinancing process described in previous announcements by the Group. Currency effects and liquidity impact The negative development in the exchange rate for NOK has had a material negative impact on key financial figures of the Group, related to both equity/solidity and liquidity. Future currency developments will necessarily impact on these figures, but it is likely that the equity of the Group as of 31 March 2020 will be materially adversely affected by this development. The negative developments in the exchange rates for NOK have resulted in a currency loss in excess of NOK 200 million. Although the currency fluctuations have caused overdrafts on certain of the cash pool accounts comprised by DOF Subsea's Group Account Agreement, DOF Subsea has with the support from its lenders obtained a consent to the relevant limits being exceeded and is therefore not in default under these arrangements. Preliminary effects of COVID-19 and the decline in the oil price The Group has been able to continue normal operations of its vessels even if replacement of crew has become, and is expected to become, increasingly difficult due to COVID-19. However, there is a general increased risk in the sector of postponements of offshore projects as a result of COVID-19 and the decline in the oil price, which also could involve the Group`s vessels and assets even if the Group so far, naturally only to a limited extent, has been impacted by these events. It should therefore be expected that both COVID-19 and the oil price development will have an adverse negative effect on the Group. The sudden and extreme currency fluctuations have resulted in liquidity challenges for the Group. The Group is in a close and constructive dialogue with its banks in order to discuss alternatives to solve the liquidity situation of the Group in the short and medium term as a result of the recent developments. The Group has with the support of its lenders on very short notice already been granted a credit facility by certain of its lenders in the amount of NOK 100 million to cover its immediate liquidity needs. As part of these discussions, the parties are also discussing a new and larger credit facility to cover the Groups short term liquidity needs, required waivers from certain of the Group's covenants as of 31 March 2020, including both the equity and liquidity covenants, as well as deferrals of interest payments and amortizations. The Group has thereby in consultation with its secured lenders initiated a process to take the necessary steps to seek to secure the required liquidity for the Group. Due to the nature and extent of the recent developments, it is currently necessarily too early to conclude on all of the implications of such developments, including the Group's ability to successfully secure the required solutions with the banks and other creditors. Refinancing update The Group has previously announced that it expected to obtain an agreement with the banks for the refinancing (in the form of an agreed term sheet) by the end of Q1 2020. Such agreement was one of the conditions for the previously announced amendments to the bond loans approved by the bondholders of DOF Subsea. As a consequence of the sudden and significant uncertainties caused by the recent developments, the ongoing refinancing of the Group will necessarily be delayed. The Group has, however, established a constructive dialogue with its secured lenders with the objective to facilitate a continued financing of the Group and continue its dialogue with the banks and bondholders to secure a long term financing solution, which also must be sufficiently robust after the recent developments. It is, however, currently too early to assess the length of the delay and the implications of these events on the refinancing process.
