DOF Subsea AS – Summons to bondholder meetings
DOF Subsea AS – Summons to bondholder meetings
June 25, 2019
Det vises til DOF ASAs ("Selskapet" eller "DOF", og sammen med datterselskapene,
"Gruppen") tidligere børsmeldinger henholdsvis 22. juni 2022 og 13. oktober 2022
vedrørende den finansielle restruktureringsprosessen, og børsmeldingen 11.
november 2022 vedrørende avstemningsresultatet på den ekstraordinære
generalforsamlingen avholdt samme dag ("Generalforsamlingen").
Som følge av manglende godkjenning av den foreslåtte restruktureringen på
Generalforsamlingen og i henhold til Gruppens forpliktelser etter avtalen med en
betydelig gruppe finansielle kreditorer og visse andre interessenter
("Restruktureringsavtalen") om en omfattende finansiell restrukturering
("Restruktureringen"), vil DOF i dag begjære rekonstruksjonsforhandlinger ved
Hordaland tingrett ("Rekonstruksjonen").
Som tidligere kommunisert av Selskapet, har de finansielle kreditorene til
Gruppen gjort det klart at (i) det ikke er rom for aksjonærene til å forhandle
om en gunstigere løsning enn forslaget som ble presentert for
generalforsamlingen den 11. november 2022 der aksjonærene ble tilbudt 4% av
aksjekapitalen etter Restruktureringen og (ii) aksjonærene ikke vil bli tilbudt
mer enn 1% av aksjekapitalen etter Restruktureringen som en del av
Rekonstruksjonen, med mindre noe annet aksepteres av de finansielle kreditorene.
Etter styrets vurdering foreligger det ingen annen løsning som sikrer videre
drift i Gruppen enn den avtalte Restruktureringen. Det er videre gjort klart av
Gruppens finansielle kreditorer at gjennomføring av Restruktureringen skal skje
i henhold til Restruktureringsavtalen. Etter Restruktureringsavtalen er DOF i
den nåværende situasjonen forpliktet til å sørge for at
rekonstruksjonsforhandlinger åpnes. Dette underbygges ytterligere av et brev fra
kreditorene hvor det kreves at Rekonstruksjonen åpnes omgående.
Styret har også vært i dialog med oppnevnt rådgiver for minoritetsaksjonærene
for å fremskaffe ønsket dokumentasjon. Styret har ikke mottatt informasjon som
tilsier at minoritetsaksjonærene har noen reell alternativ løsning til
Restruktureringen.
Som forberedelse til Rekonstruksjonen, og for å sikre videre drift i resten av
Gruppen uavhengig av utfallet av Rekonstruksjonen, har Selskapet overført
majoriteten av sin virksomhet, eiendeler og kontraktsmessige forpliktelser til
sitt heleide datterselskap, DOF Services AS. De ansatte i Selskapet har i
henhold til Restruktureringsavtalen blitt overført til Selskapets heleide
datterselskap DOF AS sammen med tilhørende tredjepartsavtaler som er nødvendige
for å drive konsernet. Gruppens virksomhet forventes derfor å fortsette som
normalt, både gjennom hele rekonstruksjonsprosessen og ved en eventuell
påfølgende konkurs i Selskapet. Som tidligere kommunisert vil ikke kreditorer og
kontraktsparter utover de finansielle kreditorene som er part i
Restruktureringen bli påvirket av Restruktureringen.
I lys av de kontinuerlige spekulasjonene blant minoritetsaksjonærene i DOF som
stiller spørsmål ved prinsippet om likebehandling av alle Selskapets aksjonærer,
og til tross for tidligere meldinger som bekrefter det samme, ser Selskapet nok
en gang et behov for å gjenta at forslaget om Restrukturering som ble presentert
for Generalforsamlingen sørget for likebehandling av alle aksjonærene i
Selskapet. Hovedaksjonæren i DOF har også bekreftet at det ikke er noen avtale
eller ordning om særbehandling av hovedaksjonæren sammenlignet med øvrige
aksjonærer, uavhengig av hvordan Restruktureringen gjennomføres.

Historical OSE Notices
DOF ASA: Begjæring om Rekonstruksjon
December 2, 2022
Reference is made to DOF ASA's (the "Company" or "DOF" and together with its
subsidiaries the "Group") previous announcements on 22 June 2022 and 13 October
2022 regarding the financial restructuring process, and the announcement on 11
November 2022 regarding the voting result at the extraordinary general meeting
held the same day ("EGM").
As a result of the failure to obtain approval of the proposed restructuring at
the EGM and pursuant to the Group's obligations under the agreement with a
substantial group of financial creditors and certain other stakeholders (the
"Restructuring Agreement") on a comprehensive financial restructuring (the
"Restructuring"), DOF will today petition for reconstruction proceedings with
Hordaland district court (the "Reconstruction").
As previously communicated by the Company, the financial creditors of the Group
have made it clear (i) that there is no room for the shareholders to negotiate a
more favorable solution than the proposal that was presented to the EGM on 11
November 2022 whereby the shareholders was offered 4% of the share capital
following the Restructuring and (ii) that the shareholders will not be offered
more than 1% of the share capital following the Restructuring as part of the
Reconstruction, unless otherwise agreed by the financial creditors.
The board of directors is of the view that there is no other available solution
that ensures the continued operations in the Group than the agreed
Restructuring. It has also been made clear by the Group's financial creditors
that implementation of the Restructuring must take place in accordance with the
Restructuring Agreement. According to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement,
DOF is in the current situation obliged to procure that the Reconstruction
proceedings are opened. This is further substantiated by a letter from the
creditors requesting Reconstruction to be opened promptly.
The Board has also been in dialogue with the appointed advisor of the minority
shareholders in order to provide the requested documentation. The Board has not
received information which indicates that the minority shareholders have any
viable alternative solution to the Restructuring.
In preparation of the Reconstruction, and in order to secure the continued
operations in the rest of the Group irrespective of the outcome of the
Restructuring in the Company, the Company has transferred the majority of its
business, assets and contractual liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary DOF
Services AS. The employees of the Company have, in accordance with the
Restructuring Agreement, been transferred to the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary DOF AS together with related third-party agreements necessary to
operate the Group. The Group's operations are therefore expected to continue as
normal both throughout the Reconstruction process and in the event of a
subsequent bankruptcy in the Company. As previously communicated, creditors and
contract parties other than the financial creditors party to the Restructuring
will not be affected by the Restructuring.
In light of continuous speculations among the minority shareholders of DOF
questioning the principle of equal treatment of all the shareholders of the
Company, and despite previous announcements confirming the same, the Company see
once more the need to reiterate that the Restructuring proposal that was
presented to the EGM provided for equal treatment of all the shareholders of the
Company. The main shareholder in DOF has also confirmed that there is no
agreement or arrangement regarding preferential treatment of the main
shareholder compared to other shareholders irrespective of how the Restructuring
is implemented.

there is no room for further negotiations, (ii) is confirmed that the financial
creditors stand by their statement that they, if necessary, will contribute to
implementation of the restructuring through a forced reconstruction and/or
bankruptcy in DOF ASA and (ii) is expressed that the financial creditors
thereby, and in order to preserve the interests of the DOF Group's employees,
suppliers and customers, are prepared to contribute to the preservation of the
DOF Group's value as a going concern irrespective of the contribution of the
shareholders. Further to this, the financial creditors have made it clear that
there are no other available alternatives than the negotiated restructuring
solution unless the overdue debt of approximately NOK 23 billion is settled. In
the same letter it is further emphasized that any action that would be contrary
to the interest of the DOF group and the stakeholders of DOF ASA (multitude of
the shareholders, creditors etc.) will expose the board of directors in DOF ASA
