In the fleet loan facility for DOF Rederi signed on 24 February 2023, the oldest PSV fleet has been defined as non-core. This implies no debt on this part of the fleet, and that all surplus cash from the sale of these vessels shall be paid directly to the lenders with zero repayment of the existing debt. Currently, the non-core fleet includes 3 vessels, Skandi Caledonia (built 2003), Skandi Captain (built 2004) and Skandi Barra (built 2005).

DOF Group ASA and DOF Rederi AS have today agreed to acquire the non-core fleet from the lenders at a total price of NOK 270 million. NOK 135 million of the purchase price shall be paid in cash and NOK 135 million shall be reinstated as debt in DOF Rederi. The reinstated debt will be priced at market terms and will have maturity in January 2026 which is equivalent as the existing fleet loan facility in DOF Rederi. The reinstated debt is not guaranteed by DOF Group ASA.

The non-core fleet currently operates in the North Sea on contracts where the average Ebitda contribution is approximately NOK 152 000/day per vessel. The current contract status for the fleet is the following:
- Skandi Captain firm until 8 November 2023
- Skandi Caledonia, firm until early Oct (maintenance docking planned in 4[th] quarter)
- Skandi Barra, firm until May 2024 + 1 year option period

Skandi Caledonia has been awarded a contract in Argentina with estimated start up in 1[st] quarter 2024 with a major global oil company. The contract has a duration of 150 days + 60 days options and the estimated Ebitda contribution is above USD 25 000/day excl. mob and demob.

Mons S. Aase, CEO DOF Group ASA, says: "The PSV market is strong, and earnings and vessel values are expected to continue the positive trend. Our core strategy is growth within subsea projects and offshore floating wind. The plan for the PSV fleet is to maximize the combined return from the expected strong momentum in earnings and vessel values in the short to medium term."

News

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. For further information, please contact: CEO Mons Aase, tel. +47 91 66 10 12 CFO 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. 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 Subsea AS: Withdrawal of summons to Bondholders' Meeting

December 20, 2019

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.
