PGS ASA: Bond Instrument Ratings and Updated Corporate Credit Ratings
March 6, 2023, Oslo, Norway: In conjunction with PGS ASA and/or its
subsidiaries' ("PGS") contemplated bond issue announced today (the "Bonds") PGS
is pleased to announce that the international credit rating agencies Moody's
Investors Services ("Moody's") and S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") have published
updated information regarding PGS' credit rating, as well as an instrument
rating for the Bonds. Reference is made to the respective releases from the
agencies.
Moody's has assigned a B3 rating to the Bonds and placed PGS ASA's Caa1
corporate family rating on review for upgrade. Based on the terms of the
transaction as proposed, Moody's would likely upgrade PGS' corporate family
rating to B3, should the transaction close successfully.
S&P has assigned a preliminary B rating to the Bonds and placed the CCC+ rating
on PGS on CreditWatch with positive implications, reflecting the possibility of
a one-notch upgrade once the refinancing is completed.
